Abstract

The invention discloses a scintillator photonic crystal structure and a manufacturing method therefor, and is used for solving a technical problem that a conventional scintillator is low in efficiency of light output. The technical scheme is that the scintillator photonic crystal structure comprises a scintillator and a photonic crystal; the photonic crystal consists of a series of hexagonal or quadrangular periodically-arranged photonic crystal microstructures. The method comprises the steps: positive template manufacturing, negative template manufacturing, polymer coating and solidifying, and demolding. The surface of the scintillator is provided with a periodically-arranged photonic crystal microstructure layer, wherein the size of the periodically-arranged photonic crystal microstructure layer is equivalent to the wavelength of light of the scintillator. The photonic crystal composed of the photonic crystal microstructures achieves the modulation of fluorescent light of the scintillator, thereby reducing the total reflection of the fluorescent light of the scintillator at an interface and the multiple scattering of internal light of the scintillator, enabling the fluorescent light of the scintillator to be transmitted outside from the surface of the scintillator, and improving the light output efficiency of the scintillator.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a scintillator, in particular to a scintillator photonic crystal structure. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the scintillator photonic crystal structure. Background technique [0002] In the field of radiation detection, scintillators refer to substances that can produce fluorescence after interacting with radiation such as rays or particles. In layman's terms, the function of the scintillator is to convert the energy deposited in the scintillator into fluorescent photons and release them. A scintillation detector is generally composed of a scintillator and a photodetector, wherein the scintillator converts the energy deposited by radiation into fluorescent photons, and the photodetector detects the fluorescence of the scintillator and converts it into an electrical signal output, thereby realizing the detection of radiation. Information such as the type, time, energy, position, and momentum of...
