Abstract: An electron emitter provides a photocell having at least one photosensitive side, an electron accelerator, an electron collector disposed between the photosensitive side of the photocell and the electron accelerator, a non-metallic vacuum chamber having an adjustable vacuum containing the photocell, the electron accelerator and the electron collector; and a light source to excite electrons on the photosensitive side of the photocell. Upon light activation, infrared light strikes the photocell, causing electrons to be excited and released. The highly positively charged electron accelerator will attract the electrons under sufficient vacuum conditions. Some of the electrons travelling towards the electron accelerator will encounter the electron collector and be collected thereon. The device may be used as a rectifier or regulator to replace vacuum tubes such as for audio amplifiers and high voltage devices. It may also have application as an x-ray generator, an electron microscope or a display screen.

Abstract: An integrated LIDAR receiver includes a single detection element to provide both imaging and ranging functions. The single detection element includes an opaque photocathode, a microchannel plate (MCP) electron multiplier, and a phosphor coated anode covered with a metalized layer. The metalized layer on the phosphor anode allows electrons striking the anode to be detected as a prompt electrical current. The prompt electrical current is detected through a transformer that couples the anode to a power supply. The power supply biases the anode relative to the MCP and photocathode such that the MCP is grounded. The use of a transformer allows the prompt anode current to be detected without having to ground the anode, thereby simplifying the power supply circuitry. The detection of the prompt electrical current provides a first output signal useful for ranging information. Visible light (photons) is also output from the anode in response to electrons striking the phosphor in the anode, and is used to provide an intensified image of a scene. The visible light may thereafter be detected by an imaging sensor, such as a CCD camera.

Abstract: A brightness intensifier tube is composed of a cylindrical sleeve portion comprising supporting faces acting as reference surfaces for an entrance window and an exit screen so that a vacuum tight tube with exactly positioned parts can be formed by way of seals provided by application of a single compressive load. Because electrodes of an electron optical imaging system are supported by the windows or the sleeve portion in an exactly positioned fashion, assembly produces exact positioning of the electrode system in the tube.

Abstract: In an automatic brightness control feedback loop for controlling the bias voltage of a microchannel plate of an image intensifier tube, there are provided a gas discharge tube and a photoconductor which is photoelectrically coupled with the gas discharge tube. The brightness of the gas discharge tube is controlled depending on the phosphor screen current. An ordinary automatic brightness control and also the blinking when the incident light is excessive can be made by having the bias voltage of the microchannel plate depend on the resistance of the photoconductor.

Abstract: An absorbing coating consisting of three layers sequentially deposited on e aluminized phosphor screen of an electro-optical device such as an image intensifier. The layers are: a transparent dielectric layer with a thickness of about one quarter wavelength of radiation to be absorbed, a thin metal semitransparent layer, and an aluminum oxide protective layer for the thin metal layer. The coating is transparent to electrons bombarding the phosphor, but absorbs radiation which might pass through the photocathode and be reflected from the phosphor aluminum coating back to the photocathode. Such reflected radiation can cause spurious output electrons from the photocathode.
