Title:
ULTRAVIOLET RAY-DETECTING TUBE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3854669
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent fluorine and silica particles from entering a sealed container and improve reliability, by arranging an anode electrode and a cathode electrode at a position opposite to a window member of glass material shutting an opening part of a side tube of metallic material.
SOLUTION: On opening part of a metallic side tube 3 shielding ultraviolet rays is shut by a glass window member 4 in a sealed container V1, and the other opening part is shut by a ring-shaped metallic member 5. An anode electrode 1 is positioned by an upper part of a side wall of the metallic member 5. A cathode electrode 2 is arranged to face a mesh area 1m of a recessed part of the anode electrode 1, having a lead pin 6 extended to penetrate the metallic member 5. A rare gas such as argon or the like is sealed in the sealed container V1. When a voltage is impressed between the electrodes 1 and 2 and ultraviolet rays are projected on the cathode electrode 2 through the window member, generated photoelectrons are accelerated by an electric field, resulting in an electron decay. Many secondary electrons are emitted from the cathode electrode 2. A generated discharge current is detected as a current pulse, whereby the ultraviolet rays are detected.
