Standard Scintillating, Wavelength Shifting
and Light Transmitting Fibers
Light trasmitting fibers, Optical fibers, light guide

Scintillation detectors made with plastic scintillating and optical fibers are used in such research and industrial applications as:

  • neutron imaging
  • particle discrimination
  • calorimeters
  • cosmic ray telescopes
  • real time imaging systems
  • flow cell

The three fiber types offered here are the ones most used to make detectors. Ordering through this catalog lets you obtain small quantities of these fibers, making it less costly for you to make a small detector, do proof-of-concept studies or just examine the capabilities these fibers have to offer.

Fiber Types

BCF-12 Blue-emitting scintillator

BCF-91A Blue to Green wavelength shifter

BCF-98 Clear light guide

For the larger quantities most detector systems require, call Bicron Customer Service. We’ll quote you price and delivery, and offer any technical assistance you may need. In addition, we can advise you on other fiber formulations, sizes and cross-sections which are available, as well as the ribbons, arrays and multiclad fibers we can produce.
