Light guides are used to convey scintillation photons to the readout device. Key performance parameters are good optical transmission across a broad range of wavelengths and highly polished surfaces to promote total internal reflection. All light guides are custom designed to suit the particular scintillator geometry and experimental constraints.
Plastic light pipes often are used with plastic and liquid organic scintillators to:
BC-482A Green-emitting shifts from 420 to 500 nm
for use with BC-408 and BC-412 plastic scintillators
BC-484 Green-emitting shifts from 380 to 435 nm
for use with BC-414 plastic scintillator
