Archaeological Dating by Infrared-Stimulated Luminescence Using a Diode Array

N.A. Spooner, M.J. Aitken, B.W. Smith, M. Franks and C. McElroy

An infrared diode array (emitting at 880 ± 80 nm) has been developed and tested on archaeologically-dated Romano-British sediment. There was good agreement with the latter and also with optical dating using 514 nm from a laser. The signal/background ratio for infrared stimulation was about 10 times that for laser stimulation. Twenty four diodes were used in the array giving a power at the sample of about 15 mW.cm-2. Intensity and wavelength drifts after switch-on necessitate a warming-up period, and a photodiode is used for monitoring/manual control; illumination of the sample is controlled by a shutter.
