Thus, the amount of material removal from the photocathode is a function of the abrasive characteristics of the polishing pad and/or chemical etching properties of the polishing compound, the amount of pressure applied to the photocathode during polishing, and the amount of time the photocathode is polished.
As a result of component degradation or oxidation, forces applied to the outer housing during the polishing process may be transferred to the photocathode and affect the amount of material removal from the polishing surface of the photocathode.

 Interference photocathode - US Patent 5311098   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
An interference photocathode includes a reflective substrate and interference layers disposed on said reflective substrate for selectively enhancing a first photoelectric yield of said photocathode when irradiated by radiation having a first wavelength relative to a second photoelectric yield of said photocathode when irradiated by radiation having a second wavelength.
In the case of the interference photocathode, the photoelectrons are created at the surface layer and the photoelectric yield of the interference coating is expected to be higher as compared to the photoelectric yield of opaque nickel wherein the photoelectrons are excited deeper within the metal and cannot escape.
The interference photocathode is optimized for photoelectric yield to radiation having a wavelength such that, for a first (undesired) wavelength, field strength is minimum at both of layer 20, 24, and for a second (desired) wavelength, field strength is maximum at both layers 20, 24.

 Streaking image tube with closely spaced photocathode, suppressor mesh, and accelerator mesh - Patent 4323811
Preferably the accelerating mesh electrode and the further mesh electrode are substantially 500 mesh/inch and the spacing between the said electrodes is in the range 1.5 mm to 3.0 mm.
In operation, typical operating potentials supplied, for the sake of simplification of explanation by a voltage source 20 and tapped resistance 21, are 0 v applied to the photocathode, +500 v applied to the accelerating electrode 3 and +50 v applied to the suppression mesh electrode 12.
It will of course be realised that primary electrons produced by the photocathode 2 have sufficient energy to pass through the decelerating field produced by the suppression mesh electrode 12 to land on the screen 11, and it has been found that improved focussing of the electron beam results from retardation of the primary electrons.

 Photomultiplier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Incident photons strike the photocathode material which is present as a thin deposit on the entry window of the device, with electrons being produced as a consequence of the photoelectric effect.
These electrons are directed by the focusing electrode towards the electron multiplier, where electrons are multiplied by the process of secondary emission.
The electrons leave the photocathode, having the energy of the incoming photon.

 High-Quantum-Efficiency Photocathode for Photomultiplier Tubes
Conventional PMTs typically have quantum efficiencies (the ratio of detected electrons to incident photons expressed as a percentage) in the vicinity of 20 percent in the visible light range to a few percent in the red and near-infrared.
In conventional photocathodes, the process of emission is hampered by a characteristic known as electron affinity (E
The advantage of III-V photocathodes over conventional cathodes is that it is possible to produce materials with negative electron affinity, when they are properly activated with cesium.

 Removal of the Photocathode Sensitivity Pattern
First, the DN level that corresponded to zero ultraviolet illumination on the photocathode was variable over different images, owing to the response of the CCD's dark-level servo circuit to real spectral signals (§3.5).
Thus, in creating the sensitivity template we had to add together all spectral exposures, with appropriate translations and zero-level corrections, with the working assumption that many differerent spectra with an arbitrary mix of offsets and spectral ranges from different sources were nearly equivalent to a uniform exposure everywhere.
One can notice that the picture is slightly noisier in the locations where there were photocathode blotches, as is to be expected from the lower quantum efficiency.

A photo-emissive surface composed of antimony and two alkali metals, deposited on the inside of a faceplate, that emits electrons as a result of the photoelectric effect.
The nonuniform spatial response of the detectors is primarily due to the varying response of the bialkali photocathode which is evidenced by large and small scale variations, but there are other effects also.
Bialkali photocathodes are most sensitive to ultraviolet, blue and green light at wavelenghts below 600 nanometers.

 A Brief Description of the Instrument and Its Operation
Second, both photocathodes have granularity - irregularities in response - of about 0.5% (rms) that can limit the S/N achieved, and there are localized blemishes that produce irregularities of several percent.
The Side 1 photocathode also exhibits "sleeking," which is slanted, scratch-like features that have an amplitude of 1 to 2% over regions as large as half the faceplate.
The effects of these irregularities could in principle be removed by obtaining a flat field measurement at every position on the photocathode, but that is, in general, impractical.

 General Spectroscopy Overview
A photoemissive diode consists of a surface (photocathode) appropriately treated to permit the ejection of electrons by low-energy photons and a separate electrode (the anode) on which electrons are collected, both sealed within an evacuated glass envelope.
Other photodetectors include imaging tubes (e.g., television cameras), which can measure a spatial variation of the light across the surface of the photocathode, and microchannel plates, which combine the spatial resolution of an imaging tube with the light sensitivity of a photomultiplier.
A night vision device consists of a microchannel plate multiplier in which the electrons at the output are directed onto a phosphor screen and can then be read out with an imaging tube.
