Pulsed OSL (10 µs)

Maximum power, homogeneity and stability provided by the interchangeable OSL unit

Pulsed OSL (10 µs)

All lexsygsmart and lexsygresearch TL/OSL readers can be equipped with an interchangeable OSL unit containing up to three stimulation wavelengths. These are provided by high power stimulation LEDs or laser diodes. The integration of photo diodes provides the feedback for power control of each individual element, guaranteeing a stable stimulation source, independent of element aging.

LED/laser diodes stimulation

Available stimulation wavelengths:

(LED/laser diodes)
UV (365 nm), Violet (405 nm), Blue (458 nm), Green (525 nm), Yellow (590 nm), IR (850 nm), Red (620 nm)

Modes of operation for OSL

  • Continuous Wave OSL (CW-OSL)

  • Linear Modulated OSL (LM-OSL)

  • Pulsed OSL (POSL)
