The thermoluminescence process based on the OTOR model. The irradiation produces electron/hole pairs captured in metastable states (left). By heating the material the trapped electron is thermally released to the conduction band and then recombines directly with the hole yielding emitted light (middle), or the electron is retrapped in the same kind of metastable state (right) before recombination.
