Title: Thermoluminescence dosimeters with narrow bandpass filters

Abstract

A dosimetry method exposes more than one thermoluminescence crystals to radiation without using conventional filters, and reads the energy stored in the crystals by converting the energy to light in a conventional manner, and then filters each crystal output in a different portion of the spectrum generated by the crystals.

Thermoluminescence dosimeter

Patent Zendle, Robert [Schenectady, NY]

A thermoluminescence dosimeter having a very small rate of decline of sensitivity during subsequent uses after heating is disclosed. The dosimeter includes a detector crystal and a glass enclosure in which the detector crystal is located. The glass enclosure is air tight and is filled with a super dry inert fill gas. The inert fill gas is nonreactive with the detector crystal when the detector crystal is heated to thermoluminescence. The fill gas is selected from the group consisting of air, nitrogen, and argon, suitable admixed with 5 to 25 percent helium. The detector crystal consists essentially of calcium fluoride.more » « less

Laser readable thermoluminescent radiation dosimeters and methods for producing thereof

Patent Braunlich, Peter F [S.W. 730 City View, Pullman, WA 99163]; Tetzlaff, Wolfgang [Pullman, WA]

Thin layer thermoluminescent radiation dosimeters for use in laser readable dosimetry systems, and methods of fabricating such thin layer dosimeters. The thin layer thermoluminescent radiation dosimeters include a thin substrate made from glass or other inorganic materials capable of withstanding high temperatures and high heating rates. A thin layer of a thermoluminescent phoshphor material is heat bonded to the substrate using an inorganic binder such as glass. The dosimeters can be mounted in frames and cases for ease in handling. Methods of the invention include mixing a suitable phosphor composition and binder, both being in particulate or granular form. Themore » « less

Thin thermoluminescent dosimeter and method of making same

Patent Simons, Gale G [Manhattan, KS]; DeBey, Timothy M [Albuquerque, NM]

An improved thermoluminescent ionizing radiation dosimeter of solid, extremely thin construction for more accurate low energy beta dosimetry is provided, along with a method of fabricating the dosimeter. In preferred forms, the dosimeter is a composite including a backing support (which may be tissue equivalent) and a self-sustaining body of solid thermoluminescent material such as LiF having a thickness of less than about 0.25 millimeters and a volume of at least about 0.0125 mm.sup.3. In preferred fabrication procedures, an initially thick (e.g., 0.89 millimeters) TLD body is wet sanded using 600 grit or less sandpaper to a thickness of lessmore » « less

Rapidly tunable, narrow-band infrared filter arrays

Patent Sinclair, Michael B.; Campione, Salvatore; Burckel, David Bruce; ...

Tunable filters can use Fano metasurface designs having extremely narrow transmission bands. The Fano metasurface can comprise dielectric or semiconductor materials and can produce transmission bands with quality factors well in excess of 1000—at least a factor of 50 greater than typical metamaterial-based infrared resonances. Numerical simulations of these metasurfaces show that the spectral position of the passband can be changed by slightly changing the position of a small dielectric perturbation block placed within the near-field of the resonator by using simple electromechanical actuation architectures that allow for such motion. An array of independently tunable narrowband infrared filters can therebymore » « less

Microfabricated high-bandpass foucault aperture for electron microscopy

Patent Glaeser, Robert; Cambie, Rossana; Jin, Jian

A variant of the Foucault (knife-edge) aperture is disclosed that is designed to provide single-sideband (SSB) contrast at low spatial frequencies but retain conventional double-sideband (DSB) contrast at high spatial frequencies in transmission electron microscopy. The aperture includes a plate with an inner open area, a support extending from the plate at an edge of the open area, a half-circle feature mounted on the support and located at the center of the aperture open area. The radius of the half-circle portion of reciprocal space that is blocked by the aperture can be varied to suit the needs of electron microscopymore » « less
