Abstract
It may be possible to extract spatially resolved quantitative radiological information from thermoluminescent detectors (TLD) upon infrared laser stimulation. Acceptable spatial resolution for the application of this TLD imaging procedure may be attained by focusing the laser beam. A two-dimensional, transient model has been derived to determine the presently immeasurable axial and radial temperature profiles in a LiF layer heated with a focused CO2 Gaussian laser beam. It is found that focused laser heating is a strong function of axial position despite the fact that LiF is a relatively weak absorber.
