Photoluminescence Dosimetry: Progress and Present State of Art

E. Piesch, B. Burgkhardt and M. Vilgis (INVITED)

The considerable progress in the readout technique for photoluminescent glass dosemeters is examined with emphasis on the application potential for individual monitoring. Radiophotoluminescence dosimetry (PLD) systems using a narrow pulsed UV laser excitation of flat glass detectors and an automatic readout are now commercially available and show improved dosimetric properties, in particular an internal pre-dose suppression, a dose range of 0.03 mSv to 10 Sv, a photon energy range extended down to 15 keV, a simultaneous indication of different dose quantities such as exposure Hx and directional dose equivalent H'(10) and the possibility of an estimation of radiation quality and incidence. Recent progress in PLD is reviewed with respect to the pulsed UV laser excitation, the improvement of the dosimetric properties by using an optimised flat glass dosemeter and the automatic readout which allows large scale evaluation and the application of different modes of evaluation, in particular vertical and horizontal scanning of the glass. The modern Toshiba readout systems FGD-10 and FGD-20 for glass dosemeters, prototype tested at KfK, are expected to be reliable dosimetry systems for large scale application in personnel and environmental monitoring, showing dosimetric properties which are comparable if not superior to those of TLD systems.
