New noise-reduction, photocathode and packaging technologies promiseto increase detector performance.

Kenneth J. Kaufmann, Hamamatsu Corp.

Application demands for increased performance are stimulating photomultiplier manufacturers to continuously improve detectors and develop innovative devices. The demands are coming both from traditional applications such as gamma cameras and underwater lidar and from newer ones such as gene chip technology. These customers are requesting improvements in device size, wavelength sensitivity and user-friendliness. In response, manufacturers are developing new photomultiplier technologies, including photocathode designs, packaging and noise-reduction schemes. Negative-affinity photocathodes...Read full article
