    Abstract: A mounting means is provided for substantially electrically isolating an electrode assembly of a photomultiplier from the inner surface wall of a glass envelope. The electrode assembly also includes an electrode focussing means for substantially preventing divergent electrons from impinging on electrode support spacers. The combination substantially eliminates the operational electrical instability known as hysteresis.

    Abstract: A photomultiplier tube (PMT) converts a received light signal to an output electrical signal of substantially greater intensity by employing a photocathode to convert incident light to free electrons, a plural dynode accelerating structure for effectively multiplying said free electrons, and an impact ionization diode (IID) for further multiplying and collecting said free electrons to provide a corresponding electrical output signal. The PMT can be an electrostatic device, in which the photocathode and the dynodes are mounted in opposed staggered positions, or a static crossed field device, in which the photocathode and the dynodes all are mounted opposite an accelerating rail and a magnetic field is provided to urge the electrons laterally along the tube. The IID''s junction is reverse biased and the entire diode is maintained at a substantially higher potential than the last dynode. The PMT can be gain controlled or turned off without affecting dynode potentials by controlling the IID''s potential. Due to the gain provided by the IID, dynode current can be reduced greatly, thereby to increase substantially the tube''s life without affecting its overall gain.

    Abstract: An optoelectronic or photosensitive semiconductor device in which a light-emitting element and a light-responsive element are arranged in a common casing, the degree of photocoupling between the two elements being dependent entirely on conditions exterior of the casing. In one embodiment, the two elements are embedded in a light-permeable mass, the boundary surface of which, together with a medium surrounding the mass, forms a surface whose reflection characteristic is dependent on the indices of refraction of the mass and of the medium, the elements themselves being so arranged that when the index of refraction of the medium is such that the boundary reflects the light coming from the light-emitting element, the reflected light is picked up by the light-responsive element, with the amount of light being picked up being dependent on, and thus an indication of, the medium surrounding the mass. In another embodiment, light emitted by the light-emitting element is free to exit the mass and, if reflected by an object outside the mass, is picked up by the lightresponsive element.

    Abstract: A unitube that is used in intensified charge transfer devices (ICTDs) hav a semiconductor charge transfer device in proximity focus with the photocathode. The unitube is comprised of a tube base section having a centrally raised portion where the charge transfer device (CTD) is internally mounted directly thereon and of an external open space for the mounting of a thermoelectric (TE) cooler for cooling the semiconductor CTD.The CTD has a grounded metal shield overlapping its outer portion to avoid high voltage break down in the area between the high voltage photocathode and the CTD. The base may be brazed to one end of the image intensifier tube wall by a Kovar ring. The faceplate may be attached to the other end of the image intensifier by a blunt or knife edge type indium seal.
