    摘要: An electromagnetic radiation detector includes an inlet window intended to receive a stream of incident photons, as well as a photocathode in the form of a semiconductive layer. A conductive layer is deposited on the downstream face of the inlet window and a thin dielectric layer is disposed between the conductive layer and the semiconductive layer. The conductive layer is brought to a potential below that of the semiconductive layer so as to drive the photoelectrons out of the recombination zone and consequently improve the quantum yield of the photocathode.

    摘要: A method includes receiving a voltage and current measured at an output of an RF generator of a first plasma system and calculating a first model etch rate based on the voltage and current, and a power. The method further includes receiving a voltage and current measured at an output of the RF generator of a second plasma system, determining a second model etch rate based on the voltage and current at the output of the RF generator of the second plasma system, and comparing the second model etch rate with the first model etch rate. The method includes adjusting a power at the output of the RF generator of the second plasma system to achieve the first model etch rate associated with the first plasma system upon determining that the second model etch rate does not match the first model etch rate. The method is executed by a processor.

    摘要: An electron-bombarded detector for detecting low light signals includes a vacuum tube structure defining a cylindrical vacuum tube chamber, a photocathode disposed at a first end of the vacuum tube chamber, a sensor disposed at a second end of the vacuum tube chamber, ring electrodes disposed in the vacuum tube chamber for generating an electric field that accelerates emitted photoelectrons toward the sensor, and a magnetic field generator configured to generate a symmetric magnetic field that applies a focusing lens effect on the photoelectrons. The ring electrodes and magnetic field generator are operating using one of a reduced distance focusing approach and an acceleration/deceleration approach such that the photoelectrons have a landing energy below 2 keV. The use of reflective mode photocathodes is enabled using either multi-pole deflector coils, or ring electrodes formed by segmented circular electrode structures. Large angle deflections are achieved using magnetic or electrostatic deflectors.

    摘要: An x-ray image intensifier includes a photoconductive x-ray detector having an electro-optic light modulator disposed on a photoconductive detector layer. The photoconductive x-ray detector absorbs x-rays passing through an object to be imaged to form an x-ray exposure of the object. An optical image of the x-ray exposure is generated when light passes through the photoconductive x-ray detector. An imager captures optical images of the x-ray exposures. A processor coupled to the imager digitizes and stores the optical images of the x-ray exposure captured by the imager at selected intervals.

    摘要: An electronic camera tube includes a transparent envelope enclosing an evacuated cavity, a photocathode layer on a first internal surface of the envelope and an array of storage electrodes on a second internal surface of the envelope. The first and second surfaces are parallel and closely spaced. The photocathode layer emits electrons in response to an incident light intensity pattern. The storage electrodes in the array receive the electrons from the photocathode layer and emit secondary electrons, thereby accumulating a charge pattern representing the light intensity pattern. The camera tube further includes a readout device associated with each storage electrode for reading out the charge pattern during a readout phase. The readout devices operate by generating a readout current through an evacuated region adjacent to each storage electrode. Each readout current is a function of the charge accumulated on the adjacent storage electrode during the exposure phase. A number of different readout techniques can be utilized.

The camera tube further includes readout devices for reading out the charge pattern during a readout phase. The readout devices operate by electron tunneling and inject electrons perpendicular to the cell array through the evacuated cavity to readout electrodes on the photocathode layer. The electron currents injected through the evacuated cavity by the readout devices are controlled in response to the charge on the respective cells in the array.
