Optically stimulated luminescence dosimeters: principles, phosphors and applications

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: This review paper discusses the basics of the optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) phenomenon, phosphors for OSL, functional design of OSL phosphors, and application areas of the OSL phenomenon, such as radiation dose monitoring for individual and environmental, computed radiography for medical and dental diagnosis, dating, security, archaeological dating, and autoradiography for drug discovery. Finally, the future prospects of the OSL phenomenon as passive-type dosimeters are mentioned.
