It is known from ensemble measurements that rubidium atoms trapped in solid parahydrogen have favorable properties for quantum sensing of magnetic fields. To use a single rubidium atom as a quantum sensor requires a technique capable of efficiently measuring the internal state of a single atom, such as laser-induced fluorescence. In this work we search for laser-induced fluorescence from ensembles of rubidium atoms trapped in solid parahydrogen and, separately, in solid neon. In parahydrogen we find no evidence of fluorescence over the range explored, and we place upper limits on the radiative branching ratio. In neon, we observe laser-induced fluorescence, measure the spectrum of the emitted light, and measure the excited-state lifetime in the matrix. Bleaching of atoms from the excitation light is also reported.
