ABSTRACT
The detailed theoretical and experimental approach to novel technique of pulse frequency modulated stimulation (PFMS) method has been described for NL-OSL phenomenon. This method involved pulsed frequency modulation with respect to time for fixed pulse width of 532 nm continuous wave (CW)-laser light. The linearly modulated (LM)-, non-linearly (NL)-stimulation profiles have been generated using fast electromagnetic optical shutter. The PFMS parameters have been determined for present experimental setup. The PFMS based LM-, NL-OSL studies have been carried out on dosimetry grade single crystal α -Al2O3:C. The photo ionization cross section of a-Al2O3:C has been found to be ~9.97X1019cm2 for 532 nm laser light using PFMS LM-OSL studies under assumption of first order of kinetic. This method of PFMS is found to be a potential alternative to generate different stimulation profiles using CW-light sources.
