Thermoluminescent dosemeters of LiF:Mg,Ti (TLD 100), LiF:Mg,Cu,P (GR 200A) and (TLD 200) were used as detectors for absolute brightness measurements of x-ray emission from a laser-produced plasma. The influence of very short (nanosecond) exposure of the dosemeters by x-ray radiation from a keV spectral range is discussed. Thermoluminescent glow curves of (TLD 200) irradiated by x-ray radiation from radionuclide standards and laser-produced Al or Cu plasmas are analysed applying deconvolution based on general TL kinetics. The dependence of the ratios of areas of low-temperature single glow peaks on x-ray photon energy from 1 to 55 keV is shown.
