In processing an optically stimulable luminescent dosimeter (OSL), the stored radiation energy is released in response to:

Explanation:
The energy stored in an optically stimulable luminescent dosimeter is released when the material is stimulated by laser light. The irradiation creates trap sites in the luminescent material; during readout, shining a laser of the right wavelength provides just enough energy to release those trapped electrons. They recombine and emit light, which is then measured to determine the dose. Heating would release energy in thermoluminescent dosimeters, not in OSL, and X-ray exposure is the initial energy input, not the readout trigger. Air has no role in the release mechanism.
