Comparison of Si P-I-N diodes and thermoluminescent detector responses in the soft x-ray region

Comparative measurements of Si P-I-N diodes and thermoluminescent dosemeters responses to laser produced plasma soft x-ray radiation are reported. As dosemeters single crystals LiF:Mn,Ti TLD 100 and CaF2:Dy TLD 200 were used. It is demonstrated that an enhanced response of the Si P-I-N diodes is a significant effect in a region of high dose rates.© (1993) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
