Abstract With numbers of efforts being made towards harnessing the thermoluminescence yield of doped glass media for dosimetric applications, predominantly in the radiotherapeutic regime, review is provided of the background to this, tracing developments leading to the present day. Included are an examination of the relative strengths of the various TLD currently on offer and that of glass fabrications, commercial Ge-doped optical fibre as well as novel fibres fabricated from Ge-doped glass. The demands that modern radiotherapeutic dose delivery systems are placing upon these passive forms of dosimetry are reviewed together with the various responses arising from current efforts. Also reviewed are the basis of the luminescence yield, citing the defect types occurring in silica, even in the absence of extrinsic dopants.

辐照玻璃和热释光产率：审查剂量学效用

摘要 随着大量努力利用掺杂玻璃介质的热释光产率用于剂量测定应用，主要是在放射治疗方案中，提供了对此背景的回顾，追踪了当今的发展。其中包括对当前提供的各种 TLD 的相对强度以及玻璃制造、商用掺锗光纤以及由掺锗玻璃制造的新型光纤的相对强度的检查。现代放射治疗剂量输送系统对这些被动形式的剂量测定提出的要求与当前努力产生的各种反应一起进行了审查。还回顾了发光产额的基础，引用了二氧化硅中出现的缺陷类型，即使在没有外在掺杂剂的情况下也是如此。
