Abstract: A photomultiplier is constituted by a photocathode and an electron multiplier having a typical structure in which a dynode unit having a plurality of dynode plates stacked in an incident direction of photoelectrons, an anode plate, and an inverting dynode plate are sequentially stacked. Through holes for injecting a metal vapor are formed in the inverting dynode plate to form secondary electron emitting layers on the surfaces of dynodes supported by the dynode plates, and the photocathode. With this structure, the secondary electron emitting layers are uniformly formed on the surfaces of the dynodes. Therefore, variations in output signals obtained from anodes can be reduced regardless of the positions of the photocathode.

Abstract: A reversible short circuit device in the form of a metal loop. The metal loop has a first base side which forms a first contact. Extending from the base side are second and third generally parallel sides. The second side includes a contact portion for engagement with an external object to provide an electrical connection therewith. The second and their sides are connected by a frangible fourth connection side. One of the second and third sides is subject to a recoiling force, which, when the connection side is interrupted or broken displaces the contact portion of the second side so as to reverse the short circuit. The short circuit device has particular application to photoelectric tubes to provide a means for interconnection of the tube components during manufacture, which may subsequently be reliably disconnected.

Abstract: The electron multiplier is of the kind in which a charge current is amplified by successive passage to and secondary emission of electrons from dynodes which are arranged in two opposed rows. The multiplier is arranged for application of electric charge to the dynodes so as to focus the charge current on to each of the dynodes in succession, alternating between the rows. The dynodes have electron emissive surfaces to which the charge current passes and angled flanges located at opposite edges of the surfaces. The surfaces are preferably formed by aluminum foil. The rows of dynodes are preferably formed by aluminum foil. The rows of dynodes are supported on opposed cantilevered insulating members by crimped straps.

Abstract: The electron multiplier device is operable in a substantial vacuum and comprises a cathode which emits electrons upon ion bombardment and an electron multiplier section adjacent the cathode for multiplying electrons emitted from the cathode. An output target surface is partially interposed in the path of the electrons near the output of the multiplier. A portion of the electrons released by the multiplier strike the output target surface causing ions to be emitted therefrom. The ions then feed back and bombard the cathode causing it to release more electrons, which in turn are multiplied thereby providing a buildup of electrons leaving the multiplier output. The output electrons may be controlled by an electron control section aligned with the multiplier near its output end.

Abstract: A chain of planar dynodes is divided into two groups which are spaced from and substantially parallel to each other. A cathode which is capable of emitting electrons upon ion bombardment is at one end of the dynode chain. An envelope encloses the dynodes and the cathode. Also enclosed by the envelope are a plurality of shields. Each shield is located so as to prevent gas ions, present within the envelope, from striking the dynodes, while allowing the ions to strike the cathode.

Abstract: A cathodoluminescent image display device utilizes a cold cathode as the source of electrons. The cold cathode comprises a photocathode, an electron multiplier and a fluorescent anode. The structure of the cathode is such that a portion of the light given off by the fluorescent anode is free to feedback and impinge upon the photocathode. The cold cathode disclosed herein is thus a closed loop device having a loop gain G. The electron multiplier has a gain G.sub.m such that the loop gain G of the device is maintained at a value greater than or equal to one thus causing a sustained electron discharge.

Abstract: A particle multiplier has a chain of dynodes mounted on two stacks of spacers. Each spacer of one of the stacks is of insulating material with a conductive layer at each end and a conductive strip along one side connecting the layers at the ends. Each dynode is electrically connected to the adjacent end layers of two adjacent spacers. The conductive strips constitute resistors so that each dynode is connected to the junction of two resistors of a chain of resistors in series.
