Patent ID: 7652261

Claim:
In combination with one or more optical light detectors, a device for detecting radiation comprising: a) a substantially transparent substrate; b) four or more substantially transparent films patterned onto one co-planar surface of said substantially transparent substrate, each said substantially transparent film comprising fast electron scintillating material and nanoparticles, and said nanoparticles having a diameter less than the scattering threshold of light; c) one or more fiber optic waveguides, each said fiber optic waveguide corresponding to a substantially transparent film; d) one or more optical barriers within said transparent substrate such that each transparent film corresponds to one fiber optic waveguide without substantial optical interference; e) a substantially opaque outer coating covering substantially all of said transparent substrate except for areas upon which said transparent films are patterned and except for areas from which fiber optic waveguides emerge from the transparent substrate; and f) wherein one said substantially transparent film contains nanoparticles comprising gadolinium oxide, a second said substantially transparent film contains nanoparticles comprising tungsten oxide, a third said substantially transparent film contains nanoparticles comprising lead oxide, and a fourth said substantially transparent film contains nanoparticles comprising glass.
