These photosensors have both high sensitivity and high-speed response and offer optimal performance even for special applications. Superb technical specifications allow wide expanded use including chemical analysis, medical diagnosis, academic research and industrial fields. Here we introduce photosensor devices capable of detecting light at wavelengths invisible to the human eye and extremely low light.
In the photosensor field, photomultiplier tubes (or PMT) are known to have particularly high sensitivity. PMT also have dozens of other advantages such as high-speed response time.
Electron multiplier tubes are also called electron multipliers or ion multipliers, and are used to detect electrons, ions, charged particles, vacuum ultraviolet rays, and soft X-rays, etc.
The UVtrons are UV sensors that utilize the photoelectric effect from metal and gas multiplication. These devices are sensitive only to UV light in a spectral range of 185 nm to 260 nm.
MCP is an electron multiplier that detects and multiplies electrons in two dimensions. MCP is also sensitive to ions, vacuum UV rays, X-rays and gamma rays and so can also be used as devices to detect their position and energy.
