  • 摘要: 为准确测量发光材料在放射性同位素激发下特定出光方向的发光特性,本研究建立放射性同位素激发下的发光材料透射式出光的测量系统,并研究块状发光材料样品在放射源激发下产生透射光的光谱和光度参数获取方法,其中光度参数包括光通量、光子数量和辐射通量,多次重复测量的一致性良好。基于该测试系统,对不同组份和表面粗糙度状态稀土掺杂石榴石基陶瓷样品在锶-90源激发下的透射式光出射进行测试与对比分析,结果表明:Ce:YAG透明陶瓷在锶-90源激发下的发光存在明显的浓度淬灭效应;Ce与不同元素共掺杂的氧化铝透明陶瓷在锶-90源激发下的发光随共掺杂原子取代Y或Al原子而不同;0.5 mm厚的Ce: LuAG陶瓷在锶-90源激发下的透射式出射光的通量和光功率按双面磨平>单面磨平>双面抛光的顺序递减。同时,对加速器电子束辐照不同时间的CsI(Tl)晶体在锶-90源激发下的透射式出光进行测试与对比分析,结果表明:辐照后CsI(Tl)晶体在锶-90源激发下的透射式出射光的发光随辐照而衰减,辐照后的发光衰减首先在450~490 nm,随辐照时间的增长,衰减区间延伸至450~600 nm,600~700 nm区间的发光受辐射影响不明显。以上研究为放射性同位素激发下发光材料的研制和辐射损伤效应的研究提供了良好的支持和参考,但该光性能测试系统在弱光测试中抑制杂散光方面仍存在改进的空间。

     

    Abstract: Radio-luminescence from radioactive isotopes has important applications in special fields. To accurately measure the luminescence characteristics of luminescent materials in specific light-emitting directions under radioactive source excitation, a measurement system for transmissive light emission of luminescent materials excited by radioactive sources was constructed. Based on this system, a method for obtaining photometric parameters of weak light generated by bulk samples under radioactive source excitation was established. In addition to the spectrum of transmissive light emission, the photometric parameters include luminous flux, photon number, and radiant flux, with good consistency in multiple repeated measurements. Using this testing system, transmissive light emission tests and comparative analyses were conducted on rare-earth-doped garnet-based ceramic samples with different compositions and surface roughness states under strontium-90 source excitation. The results show that Luminescence Ce:YAG transparent ceramics excited by strontium-90 source exhibit obvious concentration quenching effects. The luminescence of Ce and different element co-doped alumina transparent ceramics excited by strontium-90 source varies with the substitution of Y or Al atoms by co-doped atoms. For 0.5 mm thick Ce:LuAG ceramics, the luminous flux and optical power of transmissive light emission under strontium-90 source excitation decrease in the order of double-sided grinding > single-sided grinding > double-sided polishing. In addition, tests and comparative analyses were performed on the transmissive light emission of CsI(Tl) crystals irradiated by accelerator electron beams for different durations under strontium-90 source excitation. The results show that the luminescence of CsI(Tl) crystals in transmissive light emission excited by strontium-90 source decreases with irradiation. The luminescence attenuation after irradiation first occurs in the 450–490 nm range; with the increase of irradiation time, the attenuation range extends to 450–600 nm, while the luminescence in the 600–700 nm range is not significantly affected by radiation. This work well support studies on optimization of luminescent materials and radiation damage under radioactive sources. However, it is still necessary to improve the suppression of stray light in this test system.
