Scintillation Crystal Materials

Scintillation Crystals pertain to the inorganic scintillation material classification and are often grown in high-temperature furnaces, with activators added as dopants. Scintillator crystal materials act as the fundamental media in various applications utilizing the scintillation phenomenons, as to convert the received radiation into light signals that can be interpreted or further transferred and processed, such as PET, and CT in medical inspection, and X-radiation/Gamma detection in security checks.

Hangzhou Shalom EO offers various inorganic scintillators, which include polished crystals with or without reflectors, encapsulated crystals, pixelated scintillators, scintillator screens, and detector assemblies consisting of PMT, electronics, and scintillators. We provide miscellaneous scintillation crystals, including NaI(Tl), CsI(Tl), LYSO(Ce), CsI(Na), BGO, YAG(Ce), CaF2(Eu), BaF2, CdWO4, GAGG(Ce), LuAg(Ce), GOS, LSO, LaBr3(Ce), LaCl3(Ce) and CeBr3. CsI(Tl), LYSO(Ce), BGO, GAGG(Ce), and CdWO4.

Among them, NaI(Tl) (thallium-doped sodium iodide) crystals are the most prevalent kind of inorganic scintillation crystals, featuring a high light yield. CsI(Tl) offers good matching with Si PDs and therefore is often coupled with linear diode arrays for x-ray line scans. CdWO4 are often made into pixelated arrays to be used in X-radiation scanning security machines and medical diagnostic machines of computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET). The novel crystal types like LaBr3(Ce), LaCl3(Ce), and CeBr3 scintillation crystals have excellent light output and high energy resolution. YAG(Ce), GAGG(Ce), and LuAG (Ce) scintillator thin screens are often needed in high-resolution imaging applications, such as proton radiographic and scanning electron microscopes, soft x-radiation imaging, VUV, and DUV optical applications.
