Abstract Silver-activated metaphosphate glass samples show a dose-dependent radiophotoluminescence (RPL) after exposure to ionizing radiation. RPL is discriminated from stray light and parasitic luminescence due to the different decay times by use of uv-laser pulse excitation and time-resolved photon detection. A computer controlled single-photon counting system is set up for quantitative evaluation of the RPL signal. A linear relationship between RPL and absorbed dose is proven down to the sub-mGy range. The measuring technique allows glass dosimeters to be applied even at doses corresponding to the environmental radiation incidence per month.
