The invention discloses a high-speed multi-
photon detection
system and method. The
system comprises a
detector and a
signal processing circuit, wherein the
detector is composed of a window plated with a photoelectric
cathode, a micro-channel plate stack and an
anode; a plurality of incident photons are converted into a plurality of photoelectrons by the photoelectric
cathode, and the photoelectrons are converted into
electron cloud by the micro-channel plate stack; the incident
electron cloud is divided into multiple paths by three
layers of staggered
metal strip electrodes of the
anode, and charge collection is carried out to obtain charge short pulses of each layer of
electrode; the
signal processing circuit converts the charge short pulses transmitted by the three
layers of electrodes into digital pulse signals, obtains the
centroid coordinates of the
electron cloud from the digital pulse signals as the abscissa value, the ordinate value and the
verification value of the incident
photon position, combines the abscissa value, the ordinate value and the
verification value based on the screening condition to obtain the target two-dimensional coordinates, and finally obtains the target two-dimensional coordinates. And transmitting to a terminal for imaging display. According to the invention, a plurality of synchronous photons can be detected, the overall
counting rate of the
detector is greatly improved, and the detection efficiency is improved.
