Abstract:
A non-thermionic electron emissive tube of the type comprising an evacuated envelope, an electron emissive cathode assembly in the envelope, and a collector anode for electrons emitted from the emissive layer. The cathode assembly comprises a thin ceramic substrate. On one face of the substrate is a non-thermionic cathode. On the opposite surface is a heater pattern of resistive metallizing.
Abstract:
A photocell receiver is provided on the outer surface thereof in front of its light-sensitive surface with at least one electrode capable of transmitting luminous radiation, the electrode being positioned so that when supplied with an alternating voltage it produces an alternating electric field which penetrates through the light-sensitive surface to affect photoelectrons thereon.
Abstract:
An internal portion of a photomultiplier tube (PMT) having a reflective photocathode array, and a method for manufacturing the same, are provided. The internal portion of the PMT comprises the reflective photocathode array and at least one dynode structure corresponding to the array of reflective photocathodes. Each reflective photocathode receives light and from the light, generates photoelectrons which then travel towards the at least one dynode structure. Upon the photoelectrons making contact with the at least one dynode structure, the photoelectrons are multiplied.
