Problems solved by technology

[0008] The invention provides a method for improving the dynamic range of photomultiplier tubes, which solves the problem that the current photomultiplier tubes have too large a total number of electron multiplications in the working process of the current photomultiplier tubes, which causes the output signal of the anode of the device to deviate from the linear working area and is saturated, and greatly improves the working dynamic range of photomultiplier tubes.

Embodiment Construction

[0032] Attached below Figure 1-5 , the specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail, but it should be understood that the protection scope of the present invention is not limited by the specific implementation.

[0033] The reason why the photomultiplier tube has excellent high current amplification and high signal-to-noise ratio, that is, high gain, benefits from the use of a secondary electron emission system based on multiple arrangements, that is, an electron multiplication system. Each dynode is a secondary electron multiplication system. The material composition has the ability to multiply the primary electrons, and the multiplication system is the most critical part that determines the sensitivity of the whole tube. It can multiply electrons under low-noise conditions. The electron multiplication system generally consists of several to 15 levels. There are two types of focused and non-focused types. Focused dynodes have ring tile multipl...

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of photomultipliers, and provides a method for improving the dynamic range of a photomultiplier so as to solve the problem that when an existing photomultiplier detects strong light signals, the dynamic range of a device is limited due to the fact that the number of multiplied electrons is too large. When the photomultiplier detects a strong light signal, cathode current or dynode current of the photomultiplier is greater than a set trigger threshold, and the working voltage of a dynode system or a modulation electrode is subjected to linkage adjustment, so that the number of electrons entering a subsequent dynode is reduced or the energy is reduced, and the whole photomultiplier works in a linear working region. The method for improving the dynamic range of the photomultiplier makes the photomultiplier better adapt to the change of light signal intensity, and the dynamic range of a common photomultiplier can be increased by 2-10 times or even higher on the original basis.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of photomultiplier tubes, in particular to a method for improving the dynamic range of photomultiplier tubes. Background technique [0002] A photomultiplier tube (PMT for short) is an electric vacuum photodetection device, mainly composed of a light window, a photocathode, an electron multiplication system and an anode. Its working principle is that the weak optical signal emitted by the detection target is incident on the photocathode through the light window, and the electrons of the photocathode are converted into space electron beam signals through the photoelectric effect and emitted into the vacuum, and then the electrons are multiplied by electric field acceleration and electron optical focusing. The system, after N-level multiplication, amplifies the electron beam signal N times and outputs it, and finally collects it by the anode to form the anode photocurrent and the signal voltage on the load, so...
