Influence of spectral width of stimulation band on the shape of OSL curve

In the practice of OSL measurements stimulation light sources with finite spectral band are used. Till now, however, this fact was not taken into account in the analysis of OSL measurement results. Here the simulation of OSL process under the stimulation with light of a defined spectral band is performed and the results of standard OSL analysis of the simulated curves are compared with optical cross-section values assumed in the kinetics model.

► OSL kinetics equations for stimulation with the finite spectral band.
► Dependence of OSL curve on the optical stimulation band shape and width.
► Problem of stimulation band shape in OSL measurement with the continuous energy scan.
