YSO(Ce) Scintillation Crystal
Cerium-doped Yttrium Orthosilicate (YSO:Ce) is a premier rare-earth scintillator engineered for the world’s most sensitive detection fields. Crucially, unlike LYSO, YSO(Ce) contains no Lutetium, delivering an absolute zero-background performance that is mandatory for ultra-precise, low-level radiation monitoring.Highly radiation-resistant and strictly non-deliquescent (non-hygroscopic), this rugged crystal boasts a high density of 4.45g/cm³ and a rapid decay time of 50-70ns. Emitting at a peak wavelength of 420nm, it ensures seamless and highly efficient coupling with standard photodetectors.ATR Crystal custom-manufactures standalone YSO(Ce) crystals, ultra-thin scintillation screens, and precision YSO(Ce) arrays. By optimizing every design with premium reflector materials, we guarantee high light output, exceptional pixel-to-pixel uniformity, and minimal optical crosstalk for demanding applications across PET imaging, nuclear physics, and industrial NDT.
