NOTE:
A
IRF stands for Instrument Response Function which is a convolution of the
δ
pulse function (H(t)) of the measuring system and the excita-
Parameter
tion function (E(t)) of a laser. The IRF is given by the following formula:
IRF = H(t)
×
E(t)
We specify the IRF as an FWHM of the time distribution taken by using the measuring system in Figure 5 that is Hamamatsu standard IRF
measurement. It can be temporary estimated by the following equation:
(IRF (FWHM))
2
= (TTS)
2
+ (Tw)
2
+ (Tj)
2
where Tw is the pulse width of the laser used and Tj is the time jitter of all equipments used. An IRF data is provided with the tube pur-
chased as a standard.
Transit-time spread (TTS) is the fluctuation in transit time between individual pulse and specified as an FWHM (full width at half maximum)
with the incident light having a single photoelectron state.
B
Two microchannel plates (MCP) are incorporated as a standard but we can provide it with either one or three MCPs as an option depend-
ing upon your request.
C
This is specified under the operating conditions that the repetition rate of light input is 100 Hz or below and its pulse width is 70 picosec-
onds.
D
The light source used to measure the luminous sensitivity is a tungsten filament lamp operated at a distribution temperature of 2856 K. The
incident light intensity is 10
-4
lm and 100 V is applied between the photocathode and all other electrodes connected as an anode.
E
Measured at the peak sensitivity wavelength.
F
At 30 minutes after high voltage is applied with shutter closed
G
This is the mean time difference between the 10 % and 90 % amplitude points on the output waveform for full cathode illumination.
H
This is the mean time difference between the 90 % and 10 % amplitude points on the tailing edge of the output waveform for full cathode il-
lumination.
