New type of visualizer
As part of the research work carried out by the RPF "Luminofor" Corp., the type of the visualizer IKV-G, which has green luminescence in the spectral range of 900-1085 nm, was modified. The new type of visualizer IKV-G has a wider visualization range, which is in the range of 800-1600 nm. The advantage of this visualizer is that it does not need "precharging" with any light source (for example, infrared or ultraviolet). The IKV-3M visualizer has stationary luminescence when exposed to IR radiation.
Technical Specification (ТУ) on the phosphor of FK-3-1K
RPF “Luminofor” Corp.” specialists have developed and registered the Technical Specification (ТY) 20.12.24-101-48591565-2023 on the phosphor FK-3-1K.
The phosphor FK-3-1K is a large volume modification of the phosphor FK-3, has a photoluminescence when excited by ultraviolet light source.
This product can be used as the basis of luminescent paints for creating a Starry Night Sky, as a scintillation material for the visualization of UV and ionizing emission.
Smaller, brighter, more sensitive
Specialists of RPF "Luminofor" Corp." have upgraded a number of photophosphors that differ from previously manufactured products in morphological and spectral characteristics:
- anti-stokes phosphor F(a)SD-546-2M - modification of phosphor F(a)SD-546-2, characterized by an expanded excitation spectrum, increased glow intensity, and reduced particle size. The upgraded product is recommended to be used as the basis of luminescent paint for offset printing, as well as as a more sensitive material to IR radiation for creating visualizers;
- photophosphor FK-5M-1 is a modification of the phosphor FK-5M with a maximum particle size of no more than 9 microns and a preserved light intensity;
- photophosphor FL-626M is a modification of the phosphor FL-626, which has an increased glow intensity and a red-crimson luminescence colour with λmax = 670 nm.
Modified photophosphors may be of interest to consumers of materials for printing products.
