Abstract
The influence of annealing on lifetimes has been studied in synthetic quartz annealed at temperatures up to 800°C using time-resolved optical stimulation in the range 20–200°C. Luminescence was stimulated using pulsed 525nm light-emitting-diodes. There is an increase with annealing temperature in the lifetime measured at 20°C for samples annealed beyond 500°C. Further, lifetimes decrease with measurement temperature in a manner consistent with the thermal quenching of luminescence.
