“…Jain et al (2005b) determined the value of ∆E for the stimulation wavelength of ~830 nm to be equal 0.41 ± 0.02 eV. Chruścińska (2010) has modelled the dependence of the optical cross section as a function of photon energy and stimulation temperature which takes into account…”

“…This is a more general, physically justified approach than that described by Spooner (1994). Chruścińska (2010) has made simulations that allowed her to predict OSL decay curve shape dependence on temperature and a varying optical stimulation spectrum. Using a model with a single optical trap with a depth E 0 = 2.0 eV she determined the shape of the OSL decay curves for optical stimulation energies 1.9 eV and 2.0 eV (Figs.…”

“…This results in a curve similar to a TL glow curve. This process may yield valuable information about the properties of the traps involved in the OSL process (Chruścińska, 2010), e.g. the width of the observed peaks may indicate the strength of coupling of a given trap with the crystal lattice.…”

Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) was first observed from natural quartz 30 years ago. Since it increases with exposure to radiation, OSL has been developed as a dating tool for sediments. Most commonly, the OSL signal is observed using optical filters that pass wavelengths centred on 340 nm during optical stimulation at 470 nm. Experimental evidence behind the choice of measurement conditions for dating is presented, for example, information on the emission spectra. Different methods of optical stimulation are reviewed, including non-linear application of stimulation power; these are related to isolation of the fast OSL component that is most appropriate for dating sediments. Practical methods for fast OSL component separation are mentioned. Information on the stimulation process has been obtained by varying the wavelength during measurement and by varying the stimulation temperature. On the other hand, information on the recombination process is provided by observing the OSL emitted when the stimulation source is pulsed; this has practical applications when feldspar contamination is expected. Although laboratory experiments imply more than adequate thermal stability of the fast OSL signal for dating back to a million years, ages determined in the laboratory using the single aliquot regenerative dose procedure do not agree with independent ages. To address this problem, luminescence signals derived from the same electron trap, as well as those resulting from stimulation in the infrared (875 nm) and in the violet (405 nm), have been investigated as potential dating tools.
