Ce:YAG (Ce³⁺:Y₃Al₅O₁₂) crystals are widely used as scintillators and phosphor materials due to their fast response time, high light yield, and excellent mechanical and thermal stability.Unlike laser-gain YAG crystals, Ce:YAG converts high-energy radiation or blue/UV excitation into visible emission, making it ideal for radiation detection, imaging, and solid-state lighting applications. Our Ce:YAG crystals are produced with high purity and excellent optical quality, suitable for scientific research, detector development, and industrial integration. Key Features High light yield with strong visible emission Fast decay time (ideal for high-rate detection) Excellent radiation hardness and stability Good thermal and mechanical robustness Optical-grade polishing available Custom sizes and geometries supported Typical Specifications Material: Ce³⁺:Y₃Al₅O₁₂ (Ce:YAG) Function: Scintillator / phosphor Emission peak: ~550 nm (green-yellow) Excitation: UV, blue light, X-ray, γ-ray Decay time: ~70 ns (typical) Crystal orientation: ⟨111⟩ or ⟨100⟩ Surface quality: 20/10 or 40/20 scratch-dig Polishing: Single- or double-side optical polish Coatings: Optional (application-dependent) Specifications may vary depending on size and dopant level.

Ce:YAG is primarily used as a scintillator or phosphor material for radiation detection, imaging, and solid-state lighting applications. Is Ce:YAG a laser crystal? No. Ce:YAG is not a laser gain medium. It converts high-energy radiation or UV/blue excitation into visible light. What is the emission wavelength of Ce:YAG? Ce:YAG typically emits around 550 nm (green-yellow region). Do you offer custom sizes or polishing? Yes. We offer custom dimensions, thicknesses, and optical polishing based on your detector or imaging system requirements. What is the typical lead time? In-stock items ship in 1–2 business days. Custom fabrication typically requires 2–3 weeks.
