YAG(Ce) Scintillation Screens

With the wavelength of the maximum emission at 560nm, Cerium doped Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG(Ce)) scintillation crystals can well match CCD sensors, and they are known as a kind of non-deliquescent, chemical inert inorganic scintillation material. YAG(Ce) scintillator crystals are a kind of fast scintillator with a relative light yield of 12% of NaI(Tl). YAG(Ce) crystals have excellent temperature and mechanical characteristics which make them suitable for ultra-thin screens. YAG(Ce) scintillation crystals have a high threshold for intense electrons or ions, making them ideal for high electric current environments.

The thin flat scintillation crystals can be used as the scintillation screens directly, which have extraordinary high spacial resolutions. Scintillation thin screens are used to detect proton beams, electron beams, low energy X-rays (or soft X-rays), Ultra-Violet (UV) light, Deep Ultra-Violet (DUV) light, Vacuum Ultra-Violet (VUV) and Extreme Ultra-Violet (EUV or XUV) radiations, they are widely utilized in Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), high-resolution soft x-ray detection and Ultra-Violet lasers systems.

Hangzhou Shalom EO offers the stocked and custom YAG(Ce) thin scintillator screens and plates, they could be provided in forms including free-standing crystals, installation in aluminum holders, and bonding to ultra-violet fused silica substrates. The minimum thicknesses are 0.05mm for free-standing screens and 0.01mm for screens with FS substrates. The high surface quality of 10/5 S/D and aluminum coating is also optional. Furthermore, Bulk YAG(Ce) Crystals are also available.
