Radiation-Induced Luminescence in Some Optical Materials: A Simplified Kinetic Analysis.
Abstract
An aspect of radiation effects that is rapidly becoming one of the most critical areas of concern, particularly with regard to military satellites, is the problem of radiation-induced noise in electrooptical systems. An important aspect of such noise is the radiation-induced luminescence in optical materials. This memorandum describes an empirical model used to interpret the phenomena of radiation-induced luminescence and coloration and reports on some of the significant experimental observations in support of the model. Experimental work directly related to that providing the basis for this study has been performed by the author in the Grumman Research Department as part of the Air Force funded SAS-II study. The kinetic analysis presented as based on the model emphasizes the limiting behavior of induced luminescence in the low radiation intensity region. (Author)
