The most common type consists of two electrodes separated by a light-sensitive semiconductor material. .....

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.photomultiplier[¦fōd·ō′məl·tə‚plī·ər] |
