The optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) of quartz is widely used in luminescence dating and retrospective dosimetry. The signal exploited up to now in measurement protocol is complex. It is hard to check by standard measurements whether the fast component which is the most appropriate for the age estimation dominates in the total OSL signal. Recently, a new method called thermally modulated OSL (TM-OSL) was developed which allows the selective detection of the OSL components. The new measurement protocol called SAR TM-OSL uses only the fast OSL component to estimate the age. The shape of TM-OSL curve makes possible to distinguish aliquots whose OSL signal is not dominated by the fast OSL component at the first stage of the dating protocol. The new protocol is 30% more time consuming, but it can be easily optimized by stimulation with more powerful LEDs than those used in current experiments.

石英的光激发发光（OSL）广泛用于发光测年和追溯剂量学。到目前为止，在测量协议中利用的信号非常复杂。很难通过标准测量来检查最适合年龄估计的快速分量是否在总OSL信号中占主导地位。最近，开发了一种称为热调制OSL（TM-OSL）的新方法，该方法可以选择性地检测OSL组件。称为SAR TM-OSL的新测量协议仅使用快速OSL组件来估计寿命。TM-OSL曲线的形状使得可以区分在约会协议的第一阶段其OSL信号不受快速OSL成分支配的等分试样。新协议耗时30％，
