Ce:YAG Crystal | Scintillator & Phosphor for Detection
Couldn't load pickup availability
Ce:YAG (Ce³⁺:Y₃Al₅O₁₂) crystals are widely used as scintillators and phosphor materials due to their fast response time, high light yield, and excellent mechanical and thermal stability.
Unlike laser-gain YAG crystals, Ce:YAG converts high-energy radiation or blue/UV excitation into visible emission, making it ideal for radiation detection, imaging, and solid-state lighting applications.
Our Ce:YAG crystals are produced with high purity and excellent optical quality, suitable for scientific research, detector development, and industrial integration.
