Abstract
Radiation detection is disclosed. A radiation detection package includes a radio-photoluminescent glass (RPLG), an EMR source and a photodetector. The EMR source includes an input lead, and is configured to emit first energy in a predetermined band of EMR in a downstream direction toward the RPLG in response to receipt of an input signal on the input lead of the EMR source. The photodetector has an output lead, and is configured to detect second energy that is emitted by the RPLG in an emission band of EMR in response to the receipt of the first energy in the predetermined band of EMR, and generate a first output signal on the output lead indicative of an amount of the second energy.
