Thulium Acetate is the important dopant for silica-based fiber amplifiers. It can also be used in portable X-ray devices that has been bombarded in a nuclear reactor as a radiation source. Used as laboratory reagent, optical glasses, structural ceramics, catalysts, electrical components and photo-optical material. The other main application is used for optical fiber.
Thulium Acetate is a moderately water soluble crystalline Thulium source that decomposes to Thulium Oxide on heating. It is generally immediately available in most volumes. It can also be used in portable X-ray devices that has been bombarded in a nuclear reactor as a radiation source. The other main application is used for optical fiber.
