Title:
フォトン到達時間検出装置及び方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006520888
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A photon arrival time detector has the form of a photocathode 4 from which a photoelectron is ejected by an incident photon. The photoelectron is accelerated by an applied voltage to a CCD sensor 6 . The voltage between the photocathode 4 and the CCD sensor 6 is time varying such that the arrival energy of the electron at the CCD sensor 6 depends upon the time of its arrival at the photocathode 4 . Thus, the arrival time of the photon is represented by the intensity of the pixel event recorded by the CCD sensor 6.
