Enhancing gamma‐ray detection: Processing grooved microstructures on LYSO crystal with femtosecond laser
This study introduces a method of using femtosecond lasers to fabricate grooved microstructures on LYSO crystal surfaces, which has demonstrated a significant improvement in light output in both simulation and experimentation. This method can be applied to the production of crystal arrays at a low cost and on a large scale, showing promising potential for common gamma detection applications, such as medical imaging, industry, and astrophysics.
