N2 - Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), has been studied in synthetic quartz crystals, which had previously been exposed to β- or X-irradiations. The main emission bands appeared at ≈380 and ≈440 nm. The excitation spectra of these emission bands were now measured and showed both a maximum at 330 nm. This maximum coincides with an excitation maximum of the phototransferred thermoluminescence (PTTL), indicating that the OSL and PTTL are due to the same traps. The emission intensities were found to depend linearly on the intensity of the stimulating 330 nm light, as well as on the dose of the β- or X-irradiation over a wide range of doses. The results support the possibility of applying OSL in quartz for dosimetry and dating.
