Scintillation material is as optical sensor material topmost in radiation detecting system, and its research receives much concern. When scintillation material and radiation occur to interact, valence link or the change of electron hole pair in its material make it produce photon, and these photons can be used to quantify energy or the dosage of radiation, it is achieved electromagnetism interference, passive, safe and reliable radiation sensing. Compared with traditional scintillation material, flash fiber, as new scintillation material, has become as the very promising material of one with himself excellent feature, if realizing at a distance, monitor in real time, can work in the presence of a harsh environment, for the resistance of electromagnetic interference, small size, lightweight etc.
At present, the research of flash fiber, achieved with certain achievement, such as tentatively realizes commercialization for radiotherapeutic polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) optical fiber. But plastic optical fiber is limited due to material own, have radiation absorption limited, easily aging, cannot in hot environment the shortcoming such as application. Although and quartz flash fiber has better capability of resistance to radiation, can at high temperature use, but its relatively low photoyield limits its application.
In order to overcome the shortcoming of polymer plastic optical fiber and silica fibre, FibercrystSAS and the Instituted of France proposes the method adopting micro-descent method for growing YAG crystal optical fibre, it is achieved that crystal optical fibre application in optical-fiber laser or optical-fibre communications material. Domestic Shanghai University it is also proposed a kind of YAG crystal-pulling light method for fiber based on silicon dioxide covering. But, due to the restriction by the performance of monocrystal material own and drawing process, draw the fibre diameter obtained relatively big, reach several millimeter, it is impossible to meet the requirement of high pixel imaging size. Secondly, being coated on the silicon dioxide layer of single-crystal surface in crystal-pulling optical fiber easily and the silica fibre welding of standard, in pulling process, the silicon atom in covering inevitably penetrates in monocrystalline, causes that the photoyield of single crystal fiber reduces. Therefore, the flash fiber how drawing out the high light yield of small-diameter sized is to realize one of flash fiber application problem needing solution badly. The present invention proposes using the low clad material containing Si yttrium lead glass material replacement silicon dioxide as drawing scintillation crystal optical fiber, low low containing Si constituent content in Si yttrium lead glass material relative to silicon dioxide covering, Y, Al element is a part for fibre core host material, this makes Si infiltration amount of fibre in pulling process effectively be reduced, diameter can be drawn at tens microns to the hundreds of micron optical fiber not waited simultaneously, meet the different demands of imaging, it is achieved the requirement such as high light yield, fast decay.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved is based on the problem that when silicon dioxide covering draws crystal optical fibre, Si infiltration causes greatly photoyield to reduce and adopt micro-descent method drawing optical fiber diameter excessive, proposition one employing is low draws scintillation crystal optical fiber containing Si yttrium lead glass material as covering, the Si infiltration capacity effectively reduced in pulling process in optical fiber, adopts the method can draw out tens microns of optical fiber not waited to hundreds of micron simultaneously.
