(FWHM) — — 25 ps NOTES A Transit-time spread (T.T.S.) 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 depending upon your request. C We recommend use R3809U-51 with thermoelectric cooling unit to reduce dark counts (Refer to Figure 5) D 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 ps. E This data is based on R3809U-50. All other types (suffix number 51 through 58) have different characteristics on cathode sensitivity and anode dark counts. F 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 lumen and 100 V is applied between the photocathode and all other electrodes connected as an anode. 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 illumination. I I.R.F. stands for Instrument Response Function which is a convolution of the δ pulse function (H(t)) of the measuring system and the excitation function (E(t)) of a laser. The I.R.F. is given by the following formula: I.R.F. = H(t) × E(t) J We specify the I.R.F. as an FWHM of the time distribution taken by using the measuring system in Figure 13 that is Hamamatsu standard I.R.F. measurement. It can be temporary estimated by the following equation: (I.R.F. (FWHM))2 = (T.T.S.)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 I.R.F. data is provided with the tube purchased as a standard. K T.T.S. stands for Transit Time Spread (seeA above). Assuming that a laser pulse width (Tw) and time jitter of all equipments (Tj) used in Figure 3 are negligible, I.R.F. can be estimated as equal to T.T.S. (seeJ) above. Therefore, T.T.S. can be estimated to be 25 ps or less.

EXCESSIVE PRESSURE, VIBRATIONS OR SHOCKS TO THE TUBE FROM THE SURROUNDING COULD CAUSE A PERMANENT DAMAGE. Please pay special attention on insuring proper handling. 2) DO NOT PLACE ANY OBJECTS OF GROUND POTENTIAL CLOSER THAN 5mm TO THE PHOTOCATHODE WINDOW when negative high voltage is applied to the photocathode. It could generate extra noise and damage the photocathode permanently. 3) DO NOT EXPOSE THE PHOTOCATHODE TO SUNLIGHT DIRECTLY and any light stronger than the room light even during of no operation. 4) NEVER TOUCH THE INPUT WINDOW WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. In case the window contaminated by dust or grease, wipe it off using alcohol and a soft cloth or dust free tissue. 5) DO NOT OPERATE OR STORE IN A PLACE OF UNSPECIFIED TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY. Supplying high voltage 1) DO NOT SUPPLY ANY VOLTAGE HIGHER THAN SPECIFIED. Also make sure the output current does NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM CURRENT specified. 2) This device is very sensitive even with weak light input. When applying high voltage to the tube, GRADUALLY (IDEALLY 100 Vdc STEP BUT 500 Vdc STEP IS OK) AND CAREFULLY INCREASE THE VOLTAGE while monitoring the output using an ammeter or oscilloscope.
