Abstract

Dose of radiation to which a body of crystalline material has been exposed is measured by exposing the body to optical radiation at a first wavelength, which is greater than about 540 nm, and measuring optical energy emitted from the body by luminescence at a second wavelength, which is longer than the first wavelength.

Method for increased sensitivity of radiation detection and measurement

Patent Miller, Steven D

Dose of radiation to which a body of crystalline material has been exposed is measured by exposing the body to optical radiation at a first wavelength, which is greater than about 540 nm, and measuring optical energy emitted from the body by luminescence at a second wavelength, which is longer than the first wavelength. Reduced background is accomplished by more thorough annealing and enhanced radiation induced luminescence is obtained by treating the crystalline material to coalesce primary damage centers into secondary damage centers.

Method for radiation detection and measurement

Patent Miller, S D

This patent describes a method of measuring radiation dose. It comprises exposing a body of crystalline alkali halide material to ionizing radiation, exciting the material with optical radiation at a first wavelength, and measuring optical energy emitted from the material by luminescence at a second wavelength that is longer than the first wavelength.
Changes in optically stimulated luminescent dosimeter (OSLD) dosimetric characteristics with accumulated dose

Journal Article Jursinic, Paul A. - Medical Physics

Purpose: A new type of in vivo dosimeter, an optically stimulated luminescent dosimeter (OSLD), has now become commercially available for clinical use. The OSLD is a plastic disk infused with aluminum oxide doped with carbon (Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}:C). Crystals of Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}:C, when exposed to ionizing radiation, store energy that is released as luminescence (420 nm) when the OSLD is illuminated with stimulation light (540 nm). The intensity of the luminescence depends on the dose absorbed by the OSLD and the intensity of the stimulation light. The effects of accumulated dose on OSLD response were investigated.

Characterization of optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters, OSLDs, for clinical dosimetric measurements

Journal Article Jursinic, Paul A - Medical Physics

Optically stimulated luminescent dosimeters, OSLDs, are plastic disks infused with aluminum oxide doped with carbon (Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}:C). These disks are encased in a light-tight plastic holder. Crystals of Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}:C when exposed to ionizing radiation store energy that is released as luminescence (420 nm) when the OSLD is illuminated with stimulation light (540 nm). The intensity of the luminescence depends on the dose absorbed by the OSLD and the intensity of the stimulation light. OSLDs used in this work were InLight/OSL Dot dosimeters, which were read with a MicroStar reader (Landauer, Inc., Glenwood, IL). The following are dosimetricmore »« less
