PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBE (PMT) HAVING A REFLECTIVE PHOTOCATHODE ARRAY

摘要

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.

1. An internal portion of a photomultiplier tube (PMT), comprising:
an array of reflective photocathodes, each of the reflective photocathodes for receiving light and generating photoelectrons from the received light; and at least one dynode structure corresponding to the array of reflective photocathodes for multiplying the photoelectrons generated by the corresponding array of reflective photocathodes.
