Custom LaBr₃:Ce Single-Crystal Scintillators

We provide custom-designed LaBr₃:Ce (Lanthanum Bromide, Cerium-doped) single-crystal scintillators tailored to your application requirements. LaBr₃:Ce is a high-performance gamma-ray scintillator known for its high light yield, fast decay time, and excellent energy resolution, making it ideal for precision gamma spectroscopy and isotope identification.

Custom Capabilities

  • Custom crystal dimensions (diameter, thickness, aspect ratio)
  • Encapsulated single-crystal assemblies for moisture protection
  • Window material options (e.g. quartz or glass, application-dependent)
  • Optimized for PMT or SiPM readout
  • Research, OEM, and low-volume production supported

Why Choose Custom LaBr₃:Ce?

  • High energy resolution for accurate gamma peak separation
  • High light yield enabling strong signal output
  • Fast response suitable for high count-rate measurements
  • Custom form factor for seamless detector integration
  • Encapsulation protects hygroscopic crystal for long-term stability

Typical Applications

  • Gamma-ray spectroscopy & isotope identification
  • Nuclear instrumentation and radiation monitoring
  • Environmental and geological measurements
  • Homeland security and safeguards
  • University and national-lab research

Integration & Readout

Custom LaBr₃:Ce scintillators can be optimized for:

  • Photomultiplier Tubes (PMTs) – traditional high-resolution spectroscopy
  • Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPMs) – compact, solid-state detector systems

Proper optical coupling and low-noise electronics are essential to achieve the best system-level performance.

Handling & Storage

  • LaBr₃:Ce is hygroscopic and must remain fully encapsulated
  • Avoid exposure to moisture or high humidity
  • Store in a dry, temperature-stable environment
  • Do not open or modify the encapsulation
