| Abstract: | Abstract The effect of increased thermal exposure on lifetimes during optical stimulation of luminescence was investigated in quartz over the temperature range 20—200°C. It is shown using a series of constant and dynamic temperature experimental data that lifetimes are strongly affected by temperature. Lifetimes change from about 30 μs at 20°C to about 7 μs at 200°C. |
