Abstract
The Photon Counting Imaging System (PCIS) has been developed to extend the capabilities of traditional luminescence dating technologies by providing a spatially-resolved (imaged) output and a significantly extended spectral range for the detection of luminescence signals, at an overall sensitivity comparable to that of non-imaging luminescence detectors. It is capable of a wide range of both luminescence dating and materials analysis applications, utilising a variety of optical stimulation sources in addition to thermal stimulation, and incorporates easily inter-changeable optical filters for the spectral discrimination of luminescence emissions. ► LN/CCD-based facility, sensitivity comparable to non-imaging luminescence readers. ► First system for spatially-resolved TL, OSL; IRSL over the 200–1050 nm band. ► Enables dating by TL, OSL; IRSL, extending on conventional single-grain readers. ► First demonstration of single-grain OSL with blue stimulation; UV detection.
