OSL shine down curves recorded with pre-heating temperatures of 260°C and 500°C (a) sensitization corrected and (b) the corrected curve normalized with the respective initial data point. The OSL in these plots represent fast OSL (OSL measured with pre-heat at 260°C) and DT-OSL (OSL measured with pre-heat at 500°C). In order to understand the decaying nature of DT-OSL, its initial 10 data points are compared with that of fast OSL in the inset of (b). The shine down curves were corrected for sensitization with respective test dose OSL. These curves were recorded after administering a dose of 200 and test dose of 1.5 Gy. All OSL measurements were done at a stimulation temperature of 125°C.

(a) Sensitization corrected 510°C TL glow peak of Greek sample with and without bleaching treatment. Prior to the TL measurement the sample was heated up to 475°C to remove the traps lower than this glow peak. Heating in both cases, TL measurement and preheating, was done with heating rate of 2°C/s. The bleaching was done for 100 s using the blue light of the Riso system at a stimulation temperature of 125°C. The glow curves were measured with a radiation dose of200 Gy and sensitization corrected with a test dose OSL of 1.5 Gy.

The signal was represented by the sum of counts in the initial 5 channels (2.5 s) minus the sum of counts in the final 5 s of the shine down curve. The sensitization correction was done with a test dose OSL signal. A radiation dose of 100 Gy and a test dose of 1.5 Gy were employed in this measurement.

Impact of bleaching on DT-OSL signal with bleaching time periods of 0, 2, 10, 20, 50 and 100 s using blue light of Riso system. The sample was irradiated with a dose of 150 Gy and the bleached at a stimulation temperature of 125°C. The signal was represented by the sum of counts in the initial 5 channels (2.5 s) minus the sum of counts in the final 5 s of the shine down curve. The signal was corrected with a test dose OSL. A dose of 150 Gy was administered to the sample prior to each optical stimulation and a test dose of 5 Gy was used for sensitization correction.

The plot of sensitization corrected signals corresponding to (a) deep trap OSL (DT-OSL) and fast OSL with dose administered up to a dose of 1000 and 600 Gy respectively and (b) only DT-OSL up to highest administered dose value of 10 kGy, the inset in this figure shows plot of the data till a dose of 1 kGy. Since the fast OSL saturated much early than the DT-OSL, so, its growth curve was measured up to 600 Gy only. The data of the two curves in (a) was normalized in such a way that the data points of the two curves corresponding to 600 Gy matched with each other. The protocol involved pre-heats of 260 and 500°C for measurements of fast OSL and DT-OSL respectively and a cut heat of 160°C. The data in DT-OSL could be fitted with a linear fit till a dose of 1 kGy. and latter beyond it till the last administered dose of 2.5 kGy, as shown in (b). The signal was represented by the sum of counts in the initial 5 channels (2.5 s) minus the sum of counts in the final 5 s of the shine down curve. These curves were measured at a stimulation temperature of 125°C.

The reproducibility of DT-OSL was undertaken by observing its four repeated sensitization corrected measurements with the same dose value of 100 Gy and then repeating it once more with the same dose, but, after a measurement with administration of a zero dose, i.e. no dose, (run number 5). A test dose of 3 Gy was used in this observation. The measurement was done with a pre-heat and cut-heat of 500 and 160°C respectively. The signal was represented by the sum of counts in the initial 5 channels (2.5 s) minus the sum of counts in the final 5 s of the shine down curve. These curves were measured at a stimulation temperature of 125°C.

The variation in luminescence sensitization during different runs of the SAR. The data represents the average values of the three discs which were administered an identical dose of 200 Gy, i.e. the dose to be recovered. The regenerative doses used in the protocol were 100, 300 and 400 Gy. A test dose of 1.5 Gy and cut heat of 160°C was incorporated in the measurement. The protocol was modified in terms of pre-heating temperature, a heating at 500°C, without holding it for anytime.
