Scintillation of silicate and tellurite glass in near-infrared region
Annotation in Czech
Scintillators, i.e., detectors of high-energy radiation are an important tool in many fields, including energetics, medicine or defence. Glass scintillators have recently gained significant attention thanks to the possibility of drawing optical fibers for distributed radiation sensors. The silicate and tellurite glass systems are prime candidates thanks to low cost, proven and reliable fabrication technology and excellent fiber drawability. However, fiber-optics infrastructure and components are typically optimized for emission and transmission of radiation in the near-infrared radiation, while the scintillation effect so far is researched mainly for UV and visible regions. Furthermore, a prospective way to enhance the scintillation effect is the recrystallization of the glass matrix and the creation of glass-ceramics. This project aims to develop silicate and tellurite glass and glass-ceramics with suitable composition which exhibit strong scintillation response in the near-infrared region and posses sufficient properties to be drawn into optical fiber.
