NOTES
A:
Averaged over any interval of 30 seconds
maximum.
B:
The light source is a tungsten filament lamp
operated at a distribution temperature of 2856K.
Supply voltage is 150 volts between the cathode
and all other electrodes connected together as
anode.
C:
Measured with the same light source as Note B
and with the voltage distribution ratio shown in
Table 1 below.

Electrodes K Dy1 Dy2 Dy3 Dy4 Dy5 Dy6 Dy7 Dy8 Dy9 P
Ratio
SuppIy Voltage : 1250Vdc
K : Cathode, Dy : Dynode, P : Anode
D:
Measured at the voltage which gives anode
luminous sensitivity of 4A/lm.
E:
The rise time is the time for the output pulse to
rise from 10% to 90% of the peak amplitude when
the entire photocathode is illuminated by a delta
function light pulse.
F:
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.
