    Cerium doped Silicate Yttrium YSO(Ce)  belongs to monoclinic rare earth orthosilicate crystal with a peak emission wavelength of 420nm. YSO(Ce) scintillators have a similar decay time to LYSO(Ce) (50-70ns), but it has no background (Lutetium), which is critical for precise detection fields. YSO(Ce) crystal has a high density of 4.5g/cm³and high radiation resistance, good mechanical properties, and is non-deliquescent. YSO(Ce) scintillator crystals are used in high energy, nuclear, and space physics, industrial NDT, nuclear medicine, Positron emission tomography (PET), and industrial Non-Destructive Test (NDT) applications.

    Shanghai North Optics offers custom YSO(Ce) scintillation crystals according to customers' requests. Our CdWO4 crystals are grown using the Czochralski method, and the maximum crystal size is φ 80mm × 160mm. Besides, YSO(Ce) Scintillation Arrays are also accessible in North Optics.
