Abstract

Luminescence is weak light emitted from materials that are stimulated by light and heat after a period of radiation exposure. Optically-stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating utilizes luminescence mainly from mineral grains and is a developing method demanded in geological and archaeological research. This paper introduces the principle, methodology and recent development of OSL dating.
