Y2SiO5:Ce (YSO: Ce) or Cerium doped Silicate Yttrium is a bright and fast light scintillator with an emission peak at 420 nm. It is easy to match with PMT and SiPM readouts. YSO(Ce) has a similar decay time to LYSO(Ce) (50-70ns) but less background radiation attributed to the absence of lutecium. Mechanical processing of YSO: Ce scintillators is easier compared to other silicates. YSO(Ce) is often made into a pixelated array and multi-layer arrays for nuclear medicine Positron Emission Tomography (PET) applications.

Hangzhou Shalom EO offers custom YSO(Ce) scintillation crystal arrays according to customer's request; our LYSO(Ce) arrays are widely used in the Radiation Detection, Security industries, Semiconductors, Photo optic, Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and Nuclear medicine. Bulk YSO(Ce) Crystals are also available in Shalom EO.
