Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) trap parameters can only be reliably determined through the detailed analy- sis of OSL decay curves. In this study the kinetic parameters of a blue-light stimulated luminescence (BLS) decay curve from Al₂O₃:C sample irradiated at 0.1, 0.15, 0.2, 0.4 and 0.6 Gy beta doses were obtained using the same basic methods with some modifications applied and also by using our suggestion: Active-OSL Approximation (AOSL). The results were compared with those of other studies on the trap parameters of Al₂O₃:C material.
