NOTES
1: Averaged over any interval of 30 seconds maximum.
2: The Voltage distribution ratio is shown in Table 1 below.
3: The light source is a tungsten filament lamp operated at a distribution tem-
perature of 2856K. The light input is 0.1 micro-lumen.
4: Under the same conditions as Note 3 except that the light input is 10-2
lumen and 150 volts are applied between cathode and all other electrode
connected together as anode.
5: Red/White Ratio is quotient of the cathode current measured using a red
filter (Toshiba R-68) interposed between the light source and the tube by
the cathode current measured with the filter removed under the same con-
ditions as Note 4.
6: ENI is an indication of photon limited signal-to-noise ratio. It refers to the
amount of light in watts to produce a signal-to-noise ratio in unity in the
output of a photomultiplier tube. In this catalog the value of peak wave-
length is described. ENI is given by the following formula:

ENI =
2q•ldb•G•∆f
S
where q = Elementary charge (1.60 × 10-19 coulomb)
ldb = PMT anode dark current (after 30 minute storage) in amperes
G = PMT gain
∆f = Bandwidth of the system in hertz. In this catalog, 1 Hz bandwidth is
used.
S = Anode radiant sensitivity in amperes per watt at the wavelength
of peak response.
7: The rise time is the time for the output pulse to rise from 10% to 90% of
the peak amplitude when the entire photocathode is illuminated by a delta
function light pulse.
8: The electron transit time is the interval between the arrival of a delta func-
tion light pulse at the entrance window of the tube and the time the output
pulse reaches the peak amplitude. In measurement the entire photoca-
thode is illuminated.
