High resolution PET detector using wavelength shifting optical fibers and microchannel plate PMT with delay line readout

Conference Williams, M B ; Sealock, R M ; Majewski, S

We are developing a PET detector with depth of interaction (DOI) sensitivity for breast and small animal imaging. The detector uses layers of high density scintillators sandwiched between orthogonal ribbons of wavelength shifting optical fibers. The fibers are coupled to microchannel plate (MCP) based, position sensitive photomultiplier tubes (PSPMTs) containing a crossed delay line readout anode. Preliminary measurements have been made using blue-green waveshifting fiber ribbons coupled to LSO. The measured photoelectron yield due to wavelength shifted light from the fibers is sufficient to ensure a Poisson probability of only 1.0% that no photoelectron is generated in a given MCPmore »« less
Long-wavelength shift and enhanced room temperature photoluminescence efficiency in GaAsSb/InGaAs/GaAs-based heterostructures emitting in the spectral range of 1.0–1.2 μm due to increased charge carrier's localization

Journal Article Kryzhkov, D. I., E-mail: krizh@ipmras.ru ; Yablonsky, A. N. ; Morozov, S. V. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

In this work, a study of the photoluminescence (PL) temperature dependence in quantum well GaAs/GaAsSb and double quantum well InGaAs/GaAsSb/GaAs heterostructures grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition with different parameters of GaAsSb and InGaAs layers has been performed. It has been demonstrated that in double quantum well InGaAs/GaAsSb/GaAs heterostructures, a significant shift of the PL peak to a longer-wavelength region (up to 1.2 μm) and a considerable reduction in the PL thermal quenching in comparison with GaAs/GaAsSb structures can be obtained due to better localization of charge carriers in the double quantum well. For InGaAs/GaAsSb/GaAs heterostructures, an additional channel of radiativemore »« less

Radiation detector based on a matrix of crossed wavelength-shifting fibers

Patent Kross, Brian J. ; Weisenberger, Andrew ; Zorn, Carl ; ...

A radiation detection system comprising a detection grid of wavelength shifting fibers with a volume of scintillating material at the intersecting points of the fibers. Light detectors, preferably Silicon Photomultipliers, are positioned at the ends of the fibers. The position of radiation is determined from data obtained from the detection grid. The system is easily scalable, customizable, and also suitable for use in soil and underground applications. An alternate embodiment employs a fiber grid sheet or layer which is comprised of multiple fibers secured to one another within the same plane. This embodiment further includes shielding in order to preventmore »« less

A simple method to increase effective PMT gain by amplifier circuit powered from voltage divider

Conference Popov, V ; Majewski, S ; Wojtsekhowski, B ; ...

A novel concept is introduced of additional effective signal amplification by employing a dedicated circuit to process anode or dynode signals prior to sending them through a standard 50 /spl Omega/ line/cable. The circuit is entirely powered by the current flowing through the base voltage divider. Additional gain factors of 2-10 were easily achieved with preserved operation speed and rate capability up to several MHz. This additional signal boost can be used in many applications where higher gain and/or lower PMT operational voltages are desirable. For example, in the case of a PMT employed in a low input light signalmore »« less
Neutron scintillators using wavelength shifting fibers

Conference Hutchinson, D P ; Miller, V C ; Ramsey, J A

A proposed design for an optically-based, one-dimension scintillation detector to replace the gas-filled position-sensitive proportional counter currently used for a wide-angle neutron detector (WAND) at the high-Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is presented. The scintillator, consisting of a mixture of {sup 6}LiF and ZnS(Ag) powders in an epoxy binder, is coupled to an array of wavelength shifting optical fibers which provide position resolution. The wide-angle neutron detector is designed to cover a 120 degree arc with a 75 cm radius of curvature. The final detector design provides for 600 optical fibers coupled to themore »« less
