Abstract
The colorimetry and thermoluminescence properties of gamma irradiated glass were reported in as early as 1920. The utility of radio-photoluminescence (RPL) of silver activated metaphosphate glass for monitoring high doses of accidental and routine gamma radiation was reported in the 1960s. Since then considerable amount of research work has been carried out to study the thermoluminescence (TL), optical absorption (OA), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of different commercially available glasses for high as well as low dose applications. A brief review of the progress made in the spectroscopic studies of glasses during the past few decades and the application of glasses for radiation dosimetry has been given in this paper.
