摘要:
An electron tube (1) in which one end of an insulating tube (9) projects toward the inside part of an enclosure (2), and an avalanche photodiode (APD) (15) is provided to the one end of the insulating tube (9). The other end of the insulating tube (9) is connected to an outer stem (6) of the enclosure (2). An alkali source (27) is disposed inside the enclosure (2) so as to produce alkaline metal vapor and to form a photoelectric surface (11) in a predetermined area of the inner wall of the enclosure (2). The alkali source (27) is separated from the insulating tube (9) by separating members (21', 23', 26). The alkaline metal vapor produced when the electron tube (1) is fabricated does not deposit on the insulating tube (9) because of the presence of the separating members (21', 23', 26). The withstanding voltage between the enclosure (2) and the APD (15) does not lower, and deterioration of the efficiency of entrance of electrons into the APD (15) because of the adverse effect on the electric field inside the electron tube (1) in prevented.

An X-ray image intensifier comprising a vacuum envelope and an input screen having an improved sensitivity and including a substrate disposed on the X-ray input side of the vacuum envelope, a phosphor layer (3) formed on the substrate (1) and a photocathode (6) formed on the phosphor layer (3). The phosphor layer (3) consists of columnar crystals extending in a direction perpendicular to the substrate surface. The tip portions of the columnar crystals are deformed to close the upper portions of the clearances (2) formed between the columnar crystals.

A photoconductive target of an image pickup tube consists of a transparent substrate (11), a transparent conductor (12) formed thereon, a photoconductive layer (15), containing Cd, Te and Se and formed on the conductive layer (12), and a high resistance layer (16) formed on the photoconductive layer (15). The Molar ratios of Cd, Te and Se contained in the photoconductive layer (15) satify a general formula CdTe 1-x Se x where x falls within the range between 0.3 and 0.5.
摘要:
A photosensor, for instance such of an image tube, has at least a light-transmitting conductive layer (2) which is arranged on the side of light incidence, and a photoconductive layer (3) in which charges are stored in correspondence with the light incidence. At least a region of said photoconductive layer (3) for storing the charges is made of an amorphous material which contains hydrogen and silicon as indispensable constituent elements thereof, in which the silicon amounts to at least 50 atomic % and the hydrogen amounts to at least 10 atomic % and at most 50 atomic %, and whose resistivity is no lower than 10 10 Ω·cm.
摘要:
An X-ray image intensifier includes an input screen (26) for converting incident X-rays into photoelectrons, and an output screen for converting the photoelectrons into visible light. The input screen includes a phosphor layer (38). The phosphor layer has a large number of columnar crystals (33) of a phosphor which have end faces constituting a smooth surface facing the output screen. A low-refractive-index layer (41) is formed on the phosphor layer and made of a material having a refractive index smaller than a refractive index of the phosphor, with respect to the light having a specified wavelength, at which the fluorescence of the phosphor is the most intensive. A photoemissive layer (43) is formed directly or indirectly on the low-refractive-index layer.
摘要:
An input screen and method of forming one for an image intensifier tube including a substrate in which a plurality of crystal grains of aluminium or aluminium alloy are formed in a random manner in a surface. The crystal grains are formed by heating in a vacuum or non-oxidising atmosphere at a temperature between 450°C and 650°C. The oxidised layer is next removed by etchant and a phosphor layer formed on the crystal grains by vapour-deposition.
摘要:
In preparing an image pickup device having hydrogen-containing amorphous silicon as a photoconductive layer (105), this layer is first formed on a substrate and is then heat-treated at 100 to 300°C. The image pickup characteristics of the amorphous silicon layer (105) are highly improved by this heat treatment. For example, the lag and dark current are reduced and the signal current-target voltage characteristic is improved. Especially good results can be obtained when the amorphous silicon has (1) a hydrogen content is 5 to 30 atomic-%, (2) an optical forbidden band gap is 1.30 to 1.95 eV and (3) an infrared absorption spectrum in which the component of wave number 2000 cm-1 is larger than the component of wave number 2100 cm -1 In this case, adhesion to the substrate is enhanced, and good image pickup characteristics can be obtained.
摘要:
Eine Doppelschicht mit Hetero-Übergang soll Teil einer Speicherelektrode für eine optoelektronische Bildaufnahmevorrichtung sein. Sie entsteht durch Aufdampfen von n-leitendem Cadmiumselenid oder Cadmiumsulfoselenid auf eine- n + -leitende Signalelektrodenschicht aus Zinnoxid. Das aufzudampfende Material wird unter geringem Zusatz von Boroxid-Glas im Vakuum gesintert und kann dann spritzerfrei aufgedampft werden. Der Hetero-Übergang ist nahezu frei von metallischem Cadmium. Anwendung insbesonder bei einem Vidikon-Target.
