: Measured with the same supply voltage and voltage distribution ratio
as Note E after removal of light.
: ENI is an indication of the photon-limited signal-to-noise ratio. It re-
fers to the amount of light in watts to produce a signal-to-noise ratio
of unity in the output of a photomultiplier tube.

: The electron transit time is the interval between the arrival of delta
function light pulse at the entrance window of the tube and the time
when the anode output reaches the peak amplitude. In measurement, the whole photocathode is illuminated.
: Also called transit time jitter. This is the fluctuation in electron transit
time between individual pulses in the signal photoelectron mode, and
may be defined as the FWHM of the frequency distribution of electron transit times.
: Hysteresis is temporary instability in anode current after light and
voltage are applied.

(1) Light Hysteresis
The tube is operated at 750 volts with an anode current of 1 micro-ampere for 5 minutes. The light is then removed from the tube for a minute.
The tube is then re-illuminated by the previous light level for a minute to
measure the variation.
(2) Voltage Hysteresis
The tube is operated at 300 volts with an anode current of 0.1 microampere for 5 minutes. The light is then removed from the tube and the
supply voltage is quickly increased to 800 volts. After a minute, the supply voltage is then reduced to the previous value and the tube is reilluminated for a minute to measure the variation.
