A simple and novel real-time interframe operator substantially reduces short-lived noisy scintillations in low-lightlevel video imaging systems that use image intensifiers.

The limitations imposed by Mie scattering and atmospheric-induced beam scintillations on a direct line-of-sight optical link were investigated at 632.8 nm. The experimental investigations were carried out in Kuwait during the summer season when the local climate is characterized by high daily temperatures and frequent dust storms. Beam attenuation and scintillation data coupled with climatologi...

The increasing statistical significance of the DAMA/LIBRA annual modulation signal is a cause for tension in field dark matter direct detection. COSINUS experiment aims at model-independent cross-check claim, using NaI crystals operated as cryogenic scintillating calorimeters millikelvin temperatures. Such setup enables measurement phonon and scintillation light signals via Transition Edge Sens...

The detailed comparative analysis of luminescent and scintillation properties of the single crystalline films (SCF) of YAG:Ce garnet grown from melt-solutions based on the traditional PbO-based and novel BaO-based fluxes, and of a YAG:Ce bulk single crystal grown from the melt by the Czochralski method, was performed in this work. Using the Am (a-particle, 5.49 MeV) excitation we show that scin...

CsPbCl 3 crystal is found to be a promising material for the detection of ionising radiation at low temperatures.

Temperature-responsive luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) have been fabricated in which the Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET) between a donor-acceptor pair in a liquid crystalline solvent can be tuned. At room temperatures, the perylene bisimide (PBI) acceptor is aggregated and FRET is inactive; while after heating to a temperature above the isotropic phase of the liquid crystal solv...
