Abstract

This paper studies the short-time fading from Al₂O₃:C by measuring optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals (Total OSL: T_OSL, and Peak OSL: P_OSL) from droplets and Luxel™ pellets. The influence of various bleaching regimes (blue, green and white) and light power is compared. The fading effect is the decay of the OSL signal in the dark at room temperature. Al₂O₃:C detectors were submitted to various bleaching regimes, irradiated with a reference dose and read out after different time spans. Investigations were carried out using 2mm size droplet detectors, made of thin Al₂O₃:C powder mixed with a photocured polymer. Tests were compared to Luxel™-type detectors (Landauer Inc.). Short-time post-irradiation fading is present in OSL results (T_OSL and P_OSL) droplets for time spans up to 200s. The effect of short-time fading can be lowered/removed when treating the detectors with high-power and/or long time bleaching regimes; this result was observed in both T_OSL and P_OSL from droplets and Luxel™.
