| Stimulated luminescence is observed during optical or thermal stimulation of materials previously exposed to ionizing radiation. These materials are mostly solid insulators which can keep track of the ionizing radiation interaction through processes of charge trapping in defects of the crystal lattice (Figure 1). | Stimulated luminescence is observed during optical or thermal stimulation of materials previously exposed to ionizing radiation.
