Abstract
We discuss the expected dependence of the maximum signal of a number of luminescence phenomena, used in dosimetry and archaeological and geological dating, on the initial occupancy of the relevant traps, n 0 , within the OTOR (also called General One Trap (GOT)) model. This, in turn, has important bearing on the dose dependence of these phenomena. We discuss the dependence of the linearly-modulated optically-stimulated-luminescence (LM-OSL) as well as the non-linear optical stimulation (NL-OSL) on the initial concentration n 0 of trapped carriers. We also consider the behavior of CW-OSL and phosphorescence in a transformed form, as well as TL measured under hyperbolic and linear heating rates. Using an appropriate presentation, the maximum of the signal is seen to depend nearly linearly on n 0 , which in many cases means nearly linear dependence on the dose, a property important for dosimetry and dating.
