Abstract: An improved electron discharge device comprises an evacuated envelope having therein a photoemissive cathode for providing photoelectrons in response to radiation incident thereon, an electron multiplier, including a primary dynode spaced from the cathode, and a focusing assembly disposed between the cathode and the multiplier. A thermionic electron control plate is disposed between the focusing assembly and the multiplier to prevent thermionic electrons from the focusing assembly from impinging on the primary dynode, while permitting the passage of photoelectrons to the primary dynode. The control plate overlies the primary dynode and is contiguous therewith.

Abstract: A scalable vacuum photosensor configured to simplify mass production with a housing having an evacuated first side at an ultrahigh vacuum and a second side which does not require high vacuum. The first side of the device is sealed to a base plate, having a central electron readout element, using an oxide-free sealing technique, with the deposited sealing areas serving as high voltage throughputs from the first to second sides. A conductive photocathode layer on the transparent first side converts photons to photoelectrons and concentrates the photoelectrons upon the readout. The first and second sides together form an electrostatic lens for accelerating and focusing photoelectrons upon the readout, preferably having a scintillator which generates secondary light measured by an optical detector in the second side of the housing.
