Definitions
- the present invention relates to the general field of semi-transparent photocathodes, and more specifically to that of semi-transparent photocathodes of antimony and alkali metal type, or silver oxide (AgOCs), frequently used in radiation detectors.
- electromagnetic such as, for example, image intensifier tubes and photomultiplier tubes.
- Electromagnetic radiation detectors such as, for example, image intensifier tubes and photomultiplier tubes, detect electromagnetic radiation by converting it into a light or electrical output signal.
- Such a photocathode 1 usually comprises a transparent support layer 10 and a layer 20 of a photoemissive material deposited on a face 12 of said support layer.
- the support layer 10 comprises a front face 11, said receiving, intended to receive the incident photons, and an opposite rear face 12.
- the support layer 10 is transparent vis-à-vis the incident photons, and therefore has a transmittance close to the unit.
- the light emitting layer 20 has an upstream face 21 in contact with the rear face 12 of the support layer 10, and an opposite downstream face 22, called the emission face, from which the generated photoelectrons are emitted.
- the photons pass through the support layer 10 from the reception face 11, then penetrate into the light emitting layer 20.
- the electrons generated move to the emission face 22 of the light emitting layer 20 and are emitted in a vacuum.
- the vacuum is indeed made inside the detector so that the displacement of the electrons is not disturbed by the presence of gas molecules.
- the photoelectrons are then directed and accelerated to an electron multiplier device such as a microchannel slab or a set of dynodes.
- the yield of the photocathode, called quantum efficiency, is conventionally defined as the ratio of the number of photoelectrons emitted to the number of incident photons received.
- the quantum yield is of the order of 15% for a wavelength of 500 nm.
- the quantum yield depends more precisely on the three main stages, mentioned above, of the phenomenon of photoemission: the absorption of the incident photon and the formation of an electron - hole pair; transporting the generated electron to the emitting face of the light emitting layer; and the emission of the electron in a vacuum.
- Each of these three steps has a clean performance, the product of the three yields defining the quantum yield of the photocathode.
- the yield is s step absorption is an increasing function of the thickness of the light-emitting layer.
- the thicker the photoemissive layer the greater the ratio of the number of photons absorbed to the number of incident photons. Photons that have not been absorbed are transmitted through the light emitting layer.
- the efficiency s t of the transport phase that is to say the ratio between the electrons reaching the emission face on the electrons generated, is a decreasing function of the thickness of the light emitting layer. The greater the thickness of the layer, the lower the efficiency e t . Indeed, the electrons generated will be all the more likely to recombine with holes that the distance to travel is large.
- the optimum thickness of the light emitting layer is usually between 50 and 200 nm.
- FIG. 2 illustrates, for such a light emitting layer, the evolution of the absorption rate s a as a function of the wavelength of the incident photons, as well as the reflection rates ⁇ '' of the incident and transmission photons ⁇ ' of these through the photoemissive layer.
- one solution may be to increase the thickness of said layer.
- the increase in the thickness of the light emitting layer although improving the absorption rate, does not lead to an increase in quantum efficiency, especially at long wavelengths, since the transport rate is degraded.
- the main object of the invention is to provide a semi - transparent photocathode photon detector comprising a light - emitting layer having a high incident photon absorption rate and a preserved electron transport rate.
- the subject of the invention is a semitransparent photocathode for a photon detector, comprising: a transparent support layer having a front face for receiving said photons and an opposite rear face, and

- said photocathode comprises a transmission diffraction grating capable of diffracting said photons, disposed in the support layer and situated at the level of said rear face.
- Photocathode called semi-transparent means a photocathode whose photoelectrons are emitted from an emission face opposite to the incident photon receiving face. It differs from so-called opaque photocathodes for which electrons are emitted from the photon receiving face.
- the support layer is said to be transparent insofar as it allows the transmission of incident photons.
- the transmittance of the support layer, or ratio of the photons transmitted on the received photons, is therefore close to or equal to unity.
- the incident photons penetrate into the support layer through the so-called reception front surface and pass through it to the opposite rear face.
- angles of incidence, diffraction and refraction of the photons are measured relative to the normal to the considered face.
- the angles of incidence and diffraction mentioned above are defined with respect to the normal to the rear face of the support layer at which the diffraction grating is arranged.
- the average apparent thickness for the photons is eE (l /
- the absorption rate of the light emitting layer is then higher than that of the photocathode according to the prior art mentioned above, insofar as it is an increasing function of the thickness, here of the apparent thickness, of the layer. emitting.
- the transport rate is then preserved insofar as it does not depend on the apparent thickness of the photoemissive layer seen by the photons, but the actual thickness of it. Indeed, when the photons generate electron-hole pairs, the electrons generated move to the emission face regardless of the propagation direction of the photons.
- the photocathode according to the invention has a high rate of photon absorption and a preserved electron transport rate.
