Abstract
Research on photoluminescence spectroscopy on Cr-doped gem materials has demonstrated great success regarding the identification of gemstones in terms of building rapid test systems. In this study, 405 nm photoluminescence spectroscopy was used to measure the luminescence decay profiles of dozens of natural and lab-grown spinel (including heated spinel) and alexandrite. Spinel and alexandrite are both capable of producing photoluminescence with a long lifetime: spinel between 9 and 23 microseconds and alexandrite from 25 to 53 microseconds. The photoluminescence lifetime and exponential parameters of the half-life demonstrated notable differences in the ranges of decay times between natural, heated, and lab-grown versions of these materials.
