		There are many types of luminescence, including chemiluminescence, produced by certain chemical reactions, chiefly oxidations, at low temperatures; electroluminescence, produced by electric discharges, which may appear when silk or fur is stroked or when adhesive surfaces are separated; and triboluminescence, produced by rubbing or crushing crystals.
		Bioluminescence is luminescence produced by living organisms and is thought to be a type of chemiluminescence.
		If the luminescence is caused by absorption of some form of radiant energy, such as ultraviolet radiation or X rays (or by some other form of energy, such as mechanical pressure), and ceases as soon as (or very shortly after) the radiation causing it ceases, then it is known as fluorescence.

		A luminescence age is a measure of the time since the last sunlight exposure (or heating) event of the sediment.

	Luminescence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luminescence is light not generated by high temperatures alone.
		Luminescence can be caused by chemical or biochemical changes, electrical energy, subatomic motions, reactions in crystals, or stimulation of an atomic system.
		Historically, radioactivity was first thought of as a form of "radioluminescence", although it is today considered to be separate since it involves more than electromagnetic radiation.

	Luminescence Dating
		Luminescence dating of sediment relies upon the fact that the geological luminescence signal of the sediment is reduced to a near-zero residual due to exposure to daylight during weathering and transport (see Aitken, 1985, 1998).
		The palaeodose is evaluated by comparing the natural luminescence intensity of the sample with the increase of luminescence signal output induced by known amounts of additional radiation.
		Luminescence is a property by virtue of which any material emits light in response to some external stimulation and depending upon the stimulation this method is broadly has two derivatives: 1.

		The luminescence spectra of titanosilicate glasses, grown in a steady laser plume in an atmosphere of air or nitrogen at normal pressure, were investigated in the spectral range 260—500 nm.
		The luminescence was excited by the second harmonic of a cw Ar laser (λ =257nm) and was observed for glasses synthesised in air and nitrogen atmospheres throughout the investigated range of the titanium concentrations by weight (from ~0.1% to ~6%).
		When the titanium concentration was less than 1%, the luminescence spectrum of glass grown in a nitrogen atmosphere had a band with a maximum at λ ~ 280 nm associated with silicon oxygen-deficient centres and a correlated new strong band with a maximum at λ ~ 380 nm.

	V. SOME RESEARCH RESULTS AND APPLICATIONS
		Although they, or their composite signal, would be distinguishable against a background of vegetation, the contrast would not be strong against a mixture of soil and different vegetation types and conditions.
		On a luminescence basis, however, the fabric has a signal intensity that not only greatly exeeeds that of soils and vegetal backgrounds, but occurs at different wavelengths--making detection a certainty if the areal extent is sufficient.
		If sun induced luminesced photons are present, they will be recorded along with the reflected photons, causing a slightly higher DN value or slightly darker gray tone.

	Luminescence & Radiometric Dating
		Luminescence is a phenomenon exhibited by many crystals, such as diamond, quartz, feldspars and calcite.
		This is the fundamental process behind luminescence dating (TL and OSL), as well as electron spin resonance (ESR) dating, which uses a different technique to achieve the same result.
		The advantage of ESR is that, unlike luminescence, the electrons are not evicted from their traps, so the measurement can be repeated as desired on the same sample.

	Luminescence dating
		The Luminescence dating facility was established in 1996 and is engaged in a range of Research, Service and Knowledge Transfer activities.
		The accuracy of a Luminescence age is primarily governed by the success of the zeroing event.
		Whilst recent technical developments have improved experimental errors on luminescence measurements to as little as ±1%, the precision of a luminescence age is ultimately restricted by systematic errors associated with equipment calibration.

		Luminescence sensors do not have this problem, because the target will fluoresce in a different color when it’s struck by UV light.
		Luminescence sensors can be more difficult to set up than photoelectric sensors, because the beam of UV light they emit is invisible, and the glowing spot it produces may be difficult to see with the naked eye.
		Luminescence sensors are available with operating distances ranging from a few millimeters to 350 millimeters.

		The QL Series sensors detect luminescence that is inherent in a material or it can sense luminophores that have been added to a material in process to make it luminescent.
		"Luminescence sensors are ideal for applications requiring the detection of color marks, clear adhesive labels, tamper-evident seals, oil or grease and fluorescent product markings where the background color may vary causing a contrast change that would confuse or fool other sensing methods," said Joe Dolinsky, Technical Manager for Banner's photoelectric products.

		The amount of luminescence emitted is proportional to accumulated dose and with the annual dose an age can be determined.
		The calculated age is the time elapsed since the sample was buried as sunlight bleaches away the luminescence signal so resetting the 'time clock'.

	Methods: Luminescence Dating Laboratory
		Luminescence dating is an alternative to radiocarbon dating, when no organic material (bone, seed, wood, etc.) is available, or if the expected age is greater then the limits of radiocarbon dating of about 40,000 years.
		Luminescence dating can be applied to establish the age of archaeological or geological sites, by dating ceramics or rocks (must have been heated) or certain soils or sediments.
		In general, the method used for measuring the luminescence in the laboratory is similar to the way the ‘Luminescence Clock’ had been set to zero in the past.

	Powerful visible (530–770 nm) luminescence in Yb,Ho:GGG with IR diode pumping
		Powerful visible luminescence in a Gadolinium Gallium Garnet (GGG) crystal, co-activated with Yb3+ (~15 at.%) and Ho3+ (~0.1 at.%) ions, is investigated under CW laser diode pumping (λ = 938 and 976 nm).
		Analysis of the crystal absorption and luminescence spectra allows one to conclude that Yb3+ - Ho3+ stepwise up-conversion is the mechanism explaining the phenomenon.
		Ho3+ ions embedded in the crystal in small concentration are shown to form an effective reservoir for energy transferred from the excited Yb3+ subsystem and to be an efficient source of the visible emission.

		Researchers in the chemistry division of the Argonne National Laboratory have found luminescence to be an effective way to detect uranyl fluoride, which forms when UF reacts with atmospheric water, indicating a cylinder leak.
		Inspectors now use visual inspection and ultrasonic measurement of wall thickness, but both methods are time-consuming, and visual inspection is prone to error, said James V. Beitz, leader of the research team at Argonne.
		When the shutter opens, the array records a wavelength-resolved digital image that shows the location of uranyl fluoride luminescence, if present, on the surface of a UF storage cylinder.
