Measurement of Gamma-Rays Induced Luminescence Generated in a Sapphire Based Fiber-Optic Radiation Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, we fabricated a sapphire based fiber-optic radiation sensor. To evaluate the fiberoptic radiation sensor, we measured the spectrum and intensity of the luminescence generated from the fiber-optic radiation sensor according to the thickness of the PMMA block by irradiation of gamma rays emitted from a Co-60 source. And the result was compared with the value calculated from the formula of Lambert-Beer.

متن کاملMeasurement of tumor oxygenation: a comparison between polarographic needle electrodes and a time-resolved luminescence-based optical sensor.
A novel oxygen sensor which does not rely on electrochemical reduction has been used to measure the oxygenation of the murine sarcoma F in a comparative study with an existing polarographic electrode that is available commercially. The prototype luminescence sensor yielded an oxygen distribution comparable with readings made using a pO2 histograph. The percentage of regions detected that had a ...
