We propose a method for obtaining three-dimensional imaging measurements of the defect distribution inside industrial materials by measuring positron lifetimes, in addition to using the imaging technique of positron emission tomography. A compact and fast response detector that uses an Yb 3+-doped Lu2O3 scintillator and a photomultiplier tube was developed and tested. Yb3+ charge transfer luminescence exhibits a fast response in the ultraviolet and visible regions. The first measurement of the positron lifetime for a bulk material using an Yb:Lu2O3 scintillator was carried out. The lifetime of positrons created inside an yttria-stabilized zirconia block via pair production produced by ultrashort photon pulses was successfully measured.
