Ce:LuAG Scintillator Crystal—A scintillation material suitable for high-power laser lighting
Cerium-activated LuAG was proposed as a proper candidate scintillator and a potential phosphor to make white light-emitting diodes. Single crystal Ce:LuAG has better detection rate than isostructural cerium-activated yttrium aluminum garnet (Ce:YAG) because of its higher density and higher effective atomic number. Ce:LuAG was significantly better than the other phosphors with respect to the thermal quenching. In addition, the luminescence spectrum of Ce:LuAG contains a large enough green component. Ce:LuAG single crystals are also widely used as scintillation detectors for γ-rays and high energy particles. The latest generation Ce:LuAG crystal shows a high light yield up to 26,000 pH/MeV, which has been considered as potential candidate in PET scanners due to the six times shorter decay time and almost identical density. Besides, Ce:LuAG has excellent physical and chemical performances and optical isotropy, making it a potential optical host material.

During last two decades, white-light sources has advanced rapidly and show great potential to replace conventional lighting sources like incandescent, fluorescent and high-intensity discharge lamps. It is essential for color converters for white-light sources to possess a high thermal conductivity, high reliability, and low thermal quenching. Ce:LuAG color converters are suitable for high-power laser lighting. It is an effective way to reduce the thermal quenching of phosphor is to use Ce:LuAG phosphor as well as achieving a higher color rendering index (CRI). Meanwhile, based on high density, high effective atomic number, short decay time and excellent energy resolution, Ce:LuAG single crystals are widely used as scintillation detectors for γ-rays and high energy particles.

——growing crystals, linking values

We are seller of crystals. At same time, we are producer of crystals.

It is a long and arduous process from seed crystal to the desired single crystal, the composition of the crystal changes through three states and eventually grows into beautiful crystals. We witness the growth process of each crystal and clearly know technologies of each step in the crystal growth process, which means that we can directly provide customers with crystals that satisfied customer requirements.

We create value. At same time, we link value.

From company to individual, we all pursue the word "value". Individual is valuable in society, enterprise is valuable in the industry. We cherish the existence of value. We hope to set the enterprise’ value as start pointing, expand to the surrounding, extend the value from the customer to the supplier. Linking enterprise and the industry more closer, to create more value.
