Ce:YAG Crystal
Cerium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Ce:YAG) is a scintillation crystal which has high luminous efficiency and wide light pulse. The luminescence peak (550nm) can well match the sensitive wavelength of photodiode, that is suitable for photodiode as photodetector and detection when using with lightly charged particles. It is not deliquescent, high temperature resistant, and stable in thermodynamic properties. Ce:YAG crystal can be used in extreme detection environments.
