Title:
MICRO-LENS ARRAY FOR METAL-CHANNEL PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2024/030161
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The effective quantum efficiency of a metal-channel photomultiplier tube can be increased with an optical system. The optical system can direct incident light from areas of low efficiency on the cathode of the metal-channel photomultiplier tube instead to areas of high efficiency on the cathode. These high-efficiency areas of the cathode can correspond to a position between the dynode structure.
