The release of stored energy from an OSL crystal is triggered by which stimulus?

Explanation:
In optically stimulated luminescence, stored energy in the crystal is released when the crystal is stimulated with light. The light, typically from a laser, frees trapped electrons and causes the crystal to emit luminescent light that is proportional to the radiation dose received. Heat would trigger a different process called thermoluminescence, not OSL. X-radiation is the initial exposure that creates the traps, not the readout trigger, and air has no role in triggering the release.
