The present study aimed at quantifying the relationship between TL and either CW-OSL or LM-OSL using commercially available magnesium oxide. The samples were bleached at two different temperatures, and a component-resolved analysis on the integrated signals was performed. According to the data of the present study, each one among the five observed LM-OSL component receives electrons from at least two different TL peaks. Two different fast OSL components were resolved in the LM-OSL curves, both accumulating electrons from all TL glow peaks with Tmax>150°C. Component <italic>C3</italic> is very well correlated with the TL peaks at 102, 135 and 194°C, while components <italic>C4</italic> and <italic>C5</italic> are related to the TL glow peaks of 292°C, 353°C and 464°C. We note that for CW-OSL the resolution is good when two or more components differ in intensity by an order of magnitude. Blue stimulation depletes substantially the first two TL peaks but not the third peak. Substantial depletion of the high-temperature TL peaks is achieved only by using the LM-OSL configuration. The results of the present study suggest that the traps that contribute to TL and OSL are the same, despite using different recombination pathways.
