Because of their high stopping power and fast bright scintillation, cerium doped silicate based heavy crystal scintillators, such as GSO, LSO, LYSO, have been developed for medical instruments. Their applications in energy nuclear physics, however, are limited by lacking quality crystals sufficiently large size. The optical scintillation properties, including the transmittance, emission excitation spectra light output, decay kinetics response uniformity, well degradation under gamma-ray...

Abstract Gravitational-wave detectors impose exceptionally rigorous demands on optical coatings, which include high reflectivity, low thermal noise, absorption, scatter, and minimal defect counts. Simultaneously satisfying the noise absorption requirements is particularly challenging. One promising approach to use three or more materials in a single coating. In this work we characterize such multimaterial coating made using index silica (SiO 2 ), tantala (Ta O 5 substoichiometric x ). We...

We report the characterization of superlow-loss optics used in second-generation gravitational-wave detectors currently operation. The sapphire test-mass mirrors KAGRA detector are introduced as an example, but techniques here common to all detectors. In this work, we discuss mainly surface topography obtained by interferometric and optical properties with special setups.
