Description

The optically stimulated luminescence technique has been utilized as an option for personal dosimetry due to a variety of factors, as the availability of commercially personal monitoring systems based on the OSL of Al2O3: C. In this work, the sensitivity of OSL detectors of Al2O3: C, Inlight personal dosimetry system, Landauer, was verified for different light levels. The results show that the percentage fading of OSL detectors exposed to 260 lux and 26,000 lux from fluorescent light varied between 16-24% and 76-91% in the first five minutes, respectively. The data confirmed the very high sensitivity to light of these detectors
