Optical and scintillation properties of Ce3+Ce3+ doped YAlO3 crystal fibers grown by μμ-pulling down technique

We have grown single YAlO3 crystal fibers using the so-called μμ-pulling down technique for scintillation applications. Good quality un-doped and Ce-doped crystal fibers with diameters in the range 0.3–2.5 mm and length up to 150 mm have been grown. A first structural, spectroscopic and scintillation characterization will be presented.
