Description
:Suvcntor ,pletely a photosensitive surface.
The particular phototube, which we have disclosed, is of the transmission type photoelectric "surface That is, the design of the tube is such that light passes through the Window I2 and lm I4 to effect a photoelectric discharge. When a difference of potential is established between the cathode I and anode I8, the photoemission passes to the anode I8 from the photosensitive cathode surface I4. The phototube may be connected into an appropriate circuit whereby the loutput current of the tube may be utilized as def Y lin that they could not escape into the interelectrode space ibetween the cathode I2 andthe anode IS. On the other hand, if most of the light were allowed to vpass through the photosensitive layer, very little, if any, light would lbe absorbed, to provide energy for photoelectric emission. We
y have found that from 20% t0 50% of the light falling upon the window I2 should be transmitted by the-photosensitive film I4.
In constructing our tube other materials may be used for the photoelectric surface. Instead of using an antimony layer, either arsenic or bisanuth may be substituted, or if desired some other j alkali metal may replace the caesium; nor should our invention be limited to this particular type of photosensitive material as it is obvious that other photosensitive lms such as a silver-silver oxidecaesium surface may be used.
From the following description it is obvious that certain novel and advantageous features lexist in this tube. The head of the tube which gis the end closed by the glass window I2 is com- That is, the Lhead-on view of the tube is all photosurface which provides a large photocathode surface relative to the cross-sectional dimensions of the tube., Furthermore, by utilizing an envelope comprising the cathode cylinder ID, it is unnecessary to use an enclosing glass envelope. This permits a much smaller overall cross-sectional area of the tube and also allows the circuit leads to be connected directlyv to the cathode instead of requiring a conventional base structure. The
copper anode tube I8 is used .both as an electrode and asV an exhaust tubulation 22. This provides a large electrode surface for collecting the photoelectric current and also eliminates additional structures which would be required in a conventional tube for tube exhaust. The largerano'de tube also provides easier glass-to-metal sealing.
The important dimension of the tube is obviously its cross-sectional dimension which in this case is determined fby the size of the photosensitive cathode. This dimension of the cathode structure can be kept small relative to the corresponding dimension of conventional phototubes.
Due to this small head-on dimension which is the part of the tube presented to an activating beam of light, greater utility of the tube is evident. Machines which would utilize a series or a bank of such tubes may be designed to much smaller overall dimensions than were formerly possible. Due to its small size this tube may be incorporated in instruments of small design where previously the use of .phototubes greatly .complicated the technical problems at hand.
While certain specific embodiments have been illustrated and described, it will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
