Laser-stimulated thermoluminescence emission is reported from a novel transparent glass phosphor exposed to γ-ray or ultraviolet radiation. Laser-heated radiation dosimetry measurements, using this effect, are reported. A unique laser heating method permits the stimulation of the thermoluminescence without significantly raising the bulk temperature of the glass.
