Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of vacuum photoelectric imaging devices, and particularly relates to a device and a method for measuring solar blind ultraviolet band spectral sensitivity of a microchannel plate.
Background
A microchannel Plate (MCP) is a large area array of Channel electron multipliers, which are made up of numerous hollow channels. Electrons entering the channel from the input end of the MCP are subjected to secondary electron multiplication in the channel, and then electrons multiplied by thousands or even ten thousand times are output from the output end, so that the multiplication of the number of the electrons is realized. Each channel of the MCP corresponds to a pixel, and thus the MCP is an electron multiplying imaging device.
The MCP has a function of performing photoelectric conversion on an ultraviolet image in addition to a function of electron multiplication imaging. By utilizing the photoelectric conversion characteristic of the MCP, an ultraviolet light image incident on an input end of the MCP can be converted into an electronic image, and the electronic image is subjected to MCP multiplication, fluorescent screen conversion, CDD receiving, display and the like, so that the imaging of the ultraviolet light image is finally realized.
Typical MCP uv imaging device structures include an input window, an MCP, a phosphor screen, a light cone, a CCD, and a display. The input window is used for transmitting ultraviolet light and is also used for vacuum sealing, because the MCP needs to work in a vacuum state; the light cone is used for transmitting an optical image generated by the fluorescent screen to a photosensitive surface of the CCD device; the CCD device is used for imaging again; the display is used for displaying and amplifying images. The MCP ultraviolet imaging device used on the ground adopts a quartz window or a sapphire window and a magnesium fluoride window, but the MCP ultraviolet imaging device used in the space does not need an input window.
Although the MCP ultraviolet imaging device has wider application in the solar blind ultraviolet band theoretically, due to the lack of a measuring device and a measuring method for scientifically measuring the spectral sensitivity of the MCP ultraviolet imaging device in the solar blind ultraviolet band, the research on the MCP photoelectric conversion in the industry is not sufficient, and the wide and deep application of the MCP ultraviolet imaging device in the solar blind ultraviolet band is limited.

when the vacuum degree of the vacuum chamber reaches the requirement, starting to perform the next step;
2) MCP aging Process
First removing the monochromator from the optical path of the test device;
then, turning on a power supply of the ultraviolet lamp to enable the ultraviolet lamp to work normally;
then the test power supply is turned on, and each path of output voltage of the test power supply is adjusted to a proper voltage value;
when the ultraviolet cathode emits photoelectrons, the MCP1, the MCP2 and the collector work normally, current display is checked from an ammeter, and when the current is stable, aging is finished;
3) anode current testing process of ultraviolet cathode
The process is the anode current I of the ultraviolet cathode1(lambda) test, I1(λ) is the anodic current corresponding to the ultraviolet cathode photoemission at wavelength λ;
firstly, setting the wavelength of output radiation of a monochromator as lambda;
then adjusting the output voltage of each path of the test power supply to a proper voltage value;
when the ultraviolet cathode, the MCP1, the MCP2 and the collector normally work and an ammeter presents a stable current value, the current is I1(λ)；
4) Anode current testing process of test sample
The procedure is that the anode current I of the test sample MCP12(lambda) test, I2(λ) is the anode current corresponding to the photoemission of MCP1 at wavelength λ;
firstly, removing the light path of the ultraviolet cathode by using a manipulator;
then adjusting the output voltage of each path of the test power supply to a proper voltage value;
when the ammeter shows a stable current value after the MCP1, the MCP2 and the collector work normally, the current is I2(λ)；
5) Calculating spectral sensitivity
The spectral sensitivity R (λ) of MCP1 was calculated according to the following formula:
in the formula: r (λ) is the spectral sensitivity of the MCP at wavelength λ, R0(λ) is the spectral response of the ultraviolet cathode at wavelength λ.
8. The method for measuring spectral sensitivity of claim 7, wherein the output voltage values of the test power supplies for each test run are in accordance with the table:
The setting is performed.
