Abstract
Energy-scale monitoring systems for scintillation detectors with various so urces of standard light pulses are considered. A LED-based light-pulse gene rator with active quenching of afterglow., which can reduce the light-pulse duration by half, is described. The number of photons per pulse may amount to similar to 10(9) or more, the pulse duration being 10 ns. A long-term ( a few weeks) instability of the light-flash intensity is +/-0.1%.
