Abstract
On the basis of experiences in measuring infrared thermoluminescence s ignals of TLD-300 detectors with a silicon semiconductor photodiode, f urther rare earth doped CaF2 crystals were studied with regard to thei r TL emission in the near infrared spectrum. The dopant elements were Tm, Gd, Nd, Er and Eu. The crystals were grown using the Stockbarger-B ridgeman method in a high vacuum furnace. The measurements of the IR-T L signals in an IR-TL reader with a photodiode are reported.
