NOTES
A: Averaged over any interval of 30 seconds maximum.
B: The light source is a tungsten filament lamp operated at a distribution
temperature of 2856K. Supply voltage is 100 volts between the cath-
ode and all other electrodes connected together as anode.
C: Red/White ratio is the quotient of the cathode current measured us-
ing a red filter(Toshiba R-68) interposed between the light source
and the tube by the cathode current measured with the filter removed
under the same conditions as Note B.
D: The value is cathode output current when a blue filter(Corning CS-5-
58 polished to 1/2 stock thickness) is interposed between the light
source and the tube under the same condition as Note B.
E: Measured with the same light source as Note B and with the voltage
distribution ratio shown in Table 1 below.
Table 1: Voltage Distribution Ratio
F: Measured with the same supply voltage and voltage distribution ratio
as Note E after removal of light.
G: ENI is an indication of the photon-limited signal-to-noise ratio. It re-
fers to the amount of light in watts to produce a signal-to-noise ratio
of unity in the output of a photomultiplier tube.
ENI =

q = Electronic charge (1.60

coulomb).
ldb = Anode dark current(after 30 minutes storage) in am-
peres.
G = Gain.
f = Bandwidth of the system in hertz. 1 hertz is used.
S = Anode radiant sensitivity in amperes per watt at the
wavelength of peak response.
H: The rise time is the time for the output pulse to rise from 10% to 90%
of the peak amplitude when the entire photocathode is illuminated by
a delta function light pulse.
