  • Cooled optical light guide for low-level light detectors and method of temperature stabilization for imaging detectors
    Patent number: 9356166
    Abstract: A cooled optical light guide is provided having a conduit having a translucent top and a translucent bottom wherein at least a portion of the translucent top of the conduit is in alignment above at least a portion of the translucent bottom of the conduit. A fluid medium that is preferably cooled flows through the conduit. The optical light guide is placed between a scintillator array and an array detector. The temperature of the light that is emitted by the scintillator array is stabilized, and preferably cooled, as it passes through the translucent bottom of the conduit and through the translucent top of the conduit for detection by the array detector. A method of temperature stabilization for photomultiplier based detectors is disclosed.

  • Method to improve three-dimensional spatial resolution of gamma scintillation events in plate scintillators by means involving fiberoptic light guides
    Patent number: 8575556
    Abstract: A first embodiment can comprise increasing three-dimensional spatial resolution of gamma scintillation events in scintillator plates wherein the increase is by inserting a fiberoptic plate light guide between one or more photodetectors and the scintillator and optically coupling the fiberoptic plate light guides to the photodetectors.
