Abstract

Intense photostimulated luminescence (PSL) with a peak at 420 nm is observed in ultraviolet (UV)-light-irradiated europium-doped potassium chloride (KCl:Eu) single crystals. The PSL characteristics of UV-irradiated KCl:Eu for optical memory application are studied. The excitation and emission mechanisms of the 420 nm PSL, which are consistent with the results obtained, are discussed.
