Basic Characteristics of Laser Heating in Thermoluminescence and of Laser-Stimulated Luminescence

Abstract

This report summarizes the work on laser-stimulable luminescence. The effort emphasized three aspects: 1. Investigation of basic laser-stimulated luminescence phenomena such as laser-heated thermoluminescence for radiation dosimetry and optical (non-thermal) stimulated luminescence for potential application in radiation imaging and personnel dosimetry. 2. Graduate student training and interaction with guest scientists. 3. Technology transfer to U.S. industry. Keywords: Thermoluminescence, Thermoluminescence dosimetry, Laser heating, Heat transfer, Gaussian beam, Optically stimulated luminescence, Dosimetry, Radiography.
