OST Photonics GAGG(Ce) Array

GAGG(Ce) gadolinium gallium aluminum garnet is a new detection material for high-end CT and security equipment. It has the advantages of high density, high light output, short decay time, and low radioactive background. Besides, it has stable chemical composition, no cleavability and no hygroscopy, and is easy to process and assemble, which can be applied in the fields of radiation detection and high energy physics.

 

OST Photonics is able to supply GAGG(Ce) linear arrays and GAGG(Ce) 2-D arrays according to our customers' different design options in terms of pixel size, the number of pixels, reflector materials and crystal surface finishes. We offer a variety of design options and reflector materials to optimize the array performance. Our manufacturing process can ensure high light output as well as excellent pixel to pixel uniformity with minimal crosstalk. Furthermore, offset GAGG(Ce) arrays (multilayer GAGG(Ce) arrays) and different types of GAGG(Ce) crystal materials (balanced type, fast decay time type, low afterglow type and high light output type) are also available upon requests.
