Claim 0:
1. A method of creating a scintillator element, the method comprising:
applying a glass composition to at least a first surface of a first optically transparent scintillator material, the glass composition comprising a glass powder and a solvent;
removing the solvent from the glass composition by applying a first elevated temperature;
disposing the first material onto a first surface of a second optically transparent scintillator material, wherein the first and second optically transparent scintillator materials both luminesce when excited by ionizing radiation;
applying a second elevated temperature to the first material and the second material to form an optically transparent bond between the first material and the second material; and
compressing the first material and the second material under an isostatic pressure.
