Fiber-integrated X-ray Sensor

Caption

The illustration shows an optical antenna coupled to a cluster of scintillators at its end. The blue waves in the background represent the X-rays, the intense and bright green sphere corresponds to the scintillation cluster and the sparks within the antenna body symbolize the X-ray-excited photon emission from the scintillators being strongly directed toward a narrow single mode optical fiber.
