Description

An infrared (i.r.) diode array unit for optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) was developed which can be fitted directly onto the automated Risoe TL dating apparatus, thus permitting combined TL and OSL measurements using the same photomultiplier tube. Thirty-two diodes with an i.r. emission of 880 Δ 80 nm are used in the array and the power delivered at the sample is about 40 mW cm-2. A specially designed feed-back system serves as control for the light output from the diodes. The i.r. unit and preliminary OSL studies of feldspar samples are described. (author)
