NOTES
A
For cooling operation, another ceramic socket, type number E678-21D is
recommended, because the teflon socket type number E678-21C supplied
with the tube is not suitable for cooling operation due to its high thermal
expansion coefficient. Alternatively, it is recommended to solder a resistor,
capacitor, etc. directly on stem pins using a socket contact (100-2520S)
supplied by Winchester.
B
Averaged over any interval of 30 seconds maximum.
C
Measured at single photoelectron level. The discriminator level is set at val-
ley point.
D
In practical operation, the cathode current should be lower than 0.1 nA to
prevent shortening the life of the photocathode.
E
Supply voltage is 150 volts between the cathode and all other electrodes.
F
The light source is a tungsten filament lamp operated at a distribution tem-
perature of 2856 K.
G
The quotient of the cathode sensitivity measured with the light source is
the same as Note
E
passing through a red filter (Toshiba R-68) divided by
the cathode luminous sensitivity without the red filter.
H
Measured with supply voltage and voltage distribution ratio in Table 1.
J
Measured with supply voltage to provide the anode luminous sensitivity of
200 (A/lm) and the voltage distribution ratio in Table 1 after 30 minute stor-
age in the darkness.
K
Measured with supply voltage that gives 2

The discriminator is set at 1/3 of a single photoelectron level.

The R943-02 is similar to the Burle C31034 series photomultiplier tube. The base
and voltage divider are different.

The rise time is the time it takes 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.
M
The electron transit time is the interval between the arrival of a delta func-
tion light pulse at the entrance window of the tube and the time when the
output pulse reaches the peak amplitude. In measurement the entire pho-
tocathode is illuminated.
