Problems solved by technology

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is based on the problem that Si permeation is large when the crystal fiber is drawn by the silica cladding, which leads to the reduction of light yield and the problem that the diameter of the optical fiber is too large when the fiber is drawn by the micro-drop method. The material is used as the cladding to draw the scintillation crystal fiber, which effectively reduces the amount of Si infiltration in the fiber during the drawing process. At the same time, this method can be used to draw fibers ranging from tens of microns to hundreds of microns.

Abstract

A glass-clad scintillation optical fiber and a preparation method thereof belong to the preparation and application of new scintillation optical fibers and relate to the field of preparation and application of scintillation materials. The outer cladding layer of the scintillation optical fiber prepared by the present invention adopts a low-content Si glass material, which effectively reduces the infiltration of Si atoms into the optical fiber core during the drawing process, and can simultaneously meet the requirements for drawing an optical fiber with a small size of tens of microns. The preparation method of the scintillation optical fiber of the present invention comprises the steps of prefabricated rod, optical fiber drawing and heat treatment. The scintillation optical fiber of the present invention has high optical performance, fast attenuation, high density and low cost, and can be applied to the fields of modern nuclear detection and medical space imaging equipment and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to a novel scintillation optical fiber, in particular to a glass-clad scintillation optical fiber and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Scintillation materials are optical functional materials that absorb high-energy particles and emit visible light and near-ultraviolet light. In recent years, they have been widely used in high-energy physics, nuclear physics, astrophysics, geophysics, medical imaging, industrial flaw detection and safety testing application. As the most important photosensor material in radiation detection system, scintillation materials have attracted much attention. When the scintillation material interacts with radiation, changes in the valence bonds or electron-hole pairs in the material cause it to generate photons, which can be used to quantify the energy or dose of radiation, achieving anti-electromagnetic interference, passive, safe Reliable radiation sensing. Compared with tr...
