BGO Array
BGO (Bi4Ge3O12) bismuth germanate crystal is one of the most common oxide scintillation materials. It exhibits stable physical and chemical properties, high mechanical strength, high density, high refractive index, and resistance to harsh environments. With its high stopping power, high scintillation efficiency, good energy resolution and non-hygroscopic, BGO is a good scintillation material for a wide range of applications in high energy physics, space physics, medicine, geological exploration and other industries.
OST Photonics can manufacture BGO arrays according to our customers’different design options in terms of pixel size, the number of pixels, reflector materials and crystal surface finishes. We offer a variety of design options and reflector materials to optimize the array performance. Our manufacturing process can ensure high light output as well as excellent pixel to pixel uniformity with minimal crosstalk. Furthermore, offset BGO arrays (multilayer BGO arrays) are also available upon requests.
