Abstract
Optical and photostimulated-luminescence (PSL) properties of Yb:BaCl2 and Yb:BaBr2 translucent ceramics were evaluated for imaging plate applications. The samples were prepared by the spark plasma sintering method. A transmittance of the Yb:BaCl2 and Yb:BaBr2 samples at an emission wavelength (440 nm) was 30 and 44 %, respectively. In the photoluminescence and PSL spectra, the emission peak was observed at 440 nm due to the 5 d–4f transitions of Yb2+, and the decay time constants were approximately 60–70 μs. In PSL dose responses, the signals were detectable in the range of 0.1–1000 mGy for the Yb:BaCl2 sample and 0.01–1000 mGy for the Yb:BaBr2 sample. Regarding the spatial resolution of an X-ray image as an imaging plate, the Yb:BaCl2 and Yb:BaBr2 samples exhibited superior results to a commercial imaging plate (HR-BD, Fujifilm).
