LuAG(Pr) praseodymium doped lutetium aluminium garnet is a fast scintillation crystal with a decay time of 22ns. Based on the excellent scintillation performance of LuAG(Pr), it is ideal for TOF-PET and fast particle imaging. In addition, LuAG(Pr) has excellent thermal properties, which can be used in well exploration.
OST Photonics can supply LuAG(Pr) crystals and LuAG(Pr) scintillation screens upon requests. We can offer a variety of design options to meet the needs of our customers.
Positron emission computed tomography (PET)
Positron emission mammography (PEM)
TOF-PET
Fast decay time

Maximum Size: ɸ50mm x 135mm
Available items: monolithic crystal, scintillation screen
Freestanding ultra-thin scintillation screen.
Ultra-thin scintillation screens can be coupled to a substrate with optical adhesives in order to achieve better optical readout.
Scintillation screens can be inserted into frames(Aluminum, Stainless steel) for easier manipulation.
We can provide customized markings such as a grid, cross, or scale on the surface of the screen for easier beam visualization.
We can provide various coating on the surface of the screen upon request, such as reflection coatings(Al, Au, Ag etc.), AR coating, diffusion painting(TiO2, Al2O3), and conductive coatings(Al, ITO, C).
