Advanced Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeters (OSL)
Radiation Detection Measure offers precise, efficient, and scalable OSL dosimetry systems built for North America’s critical B2B safety needs
Overview of Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeter (OSL)
Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimeters (OSLs) are modern, passive devices used to measure cumulative exposure to ionizing radiation. When stimulated by specific light wavelengths, OSL materials emit luminescence proportional to the absorbed radiation dose. These detectors offer high sensitivity, long-term stability, and re-readability—making them ideal for monitoring worker safety in medical, industrial, and research environments.
Increasingly adopted across North America, OSL dosimeters have become the standard in personal and environmental radiation monitoring due to their durability and data accuracy. B2B companies turn to OSL systems for streamlined compliance, centralized dose tracking, and low-maintenance deployment. Radiation Detection Measure delivers high-performance OSL solutions tailored to the operational requirements of hospitals, nuclear facilities, universities, and national laboratories. By combining field-proven reliability with advanced analytics and cloud reporting, we help organizations operate confidently in radiation-sensitive environments.

Case Studies
- A multi-location healthcare provider implemented our OSL badge solution across radiology, oncology, and surgical departments. Over 900 employees were enrolled in the system, which enabled centralized monitoring and threshold alerts through a secure web dashboard—resulting in a 35% improvement in response time to potential overexposure.
A radiographic testing firm operating on Gulf Coast energy infrastructure deployed our portable OSL system. Technicians in high-radiation zones wore ruggedized OSL badges synced to a mobile reader system, enabling supervisors to monitor real-time exposure and manage badge rotation effectively.
A major Canadian university integrated Radiation Detection Measure’s OSL dosimetry suite into its research program. Students and faculty working with linear accelerators and isotopic sources used personalized badges tied to GAO RFID identification tools, enhancing accountability and enabling traceable exposure histories across departments.
