Nowe metody stymulacji optycznej dla czytnika TL/OSL Jupiter

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) is observed in irradiated insulators or semiconductors exposed to light of the appropriate energy. OSL Intensity is normally proportional to the dose of absorbed radiation. For this reason OSL method is often used in radiation dosimetry and dating in archeology and geology. OSL characteristics might also provide information about the parameters of traps and recombination centers of the material. The most common method of optical stimulation is the stimulation by continuous light in the range from a few to several seconds. The recently developed TL/OSL reader Jupiter provides several new methods of stimulation. They allow, among others, determination of long-lived characteristics of a detector and the activation energy of traps.
