释义

photomultiplier


pho·to·mul·ti·pli·er

P0265750 (fō′tō-mŭl′tə-plī′ər)n. An electronic sensing device used to detect weak electromagnetic radiation, typically light, and amplify its energy via the photoelectric effect.

photomultiplier

(ˌfəʊtəʊˈmʌltɪˌplaɪə) n (General Physics) a device sensitive to electromagnetic radiation, consisting of a photocathode, from which electrons are released by incident photons, and an electron multiplier, which amplifies and produces a detectable pulse of current

pho•to•mul•ti•pli•er

(ˌfoʊ təˈmʌl təˌplaɪ ər)

n. a light detector that amplifies a photon's signal by using a photocathode and a series of electrodes to create a cascade of electrons. [1935–40]

or photocell,
device whose electrical characteristics (e.g., current, voltage, or resistance) vary when light is incident upon it. The most common type consists of two electrodes separated by a light-sensitive semiconductor material.

photomultiplier

(foh-toh-mul -tă-plÿ-er) (photomultiplier tube; phototube) An electronic device used to convert a low-intensity light signal into an electrical signal and to amplify this signal very considerably. It contains a photocathode from which electrons are liberated by the incident light photons. The electrons are accelerated down an evacuated tube by a series of positively charged electrodes to which an increasingly high potential is applied. At each electrode a number of additional electrons are released by each impacting electron (by secondary emission). The electrons are all collected at the final electrode in the chain, which is held at a very high potential, and a large current pulse is produced.
