High QE in Near IR Region Due to InGaAs (Cs) Photocathode
For Spectrophotometers with 185 to 1010 nm range,
Fluorescence and Laser Applications and Photon Counting (R2658P)
in the Near Infrared Region, etc.
Figure 1: Typical Spectral Response
TPMSB0150EA
The R2658 and the R2658P are 28 mm (1-1/8 inch) diameter side-on
photomultiplier tubes using a newly developed InGaAs semiconductor
photocathode.
The InGaAs photocathode is sensitive from UV to near IR radiations
(as long as over 1010 nm) longer than wavelength limit of GaAs photo-
cathode, and yet offers low dark current. The dark current is 2 orders
lower than the commercial S-1 photocathode. Therefore, they are well
suited for low light detection in the near IR region including fluores-
cence lifetime measurements. Time response, gain, and dimensions
are identical with the conventional 28 mm (1-1/8 inch) diameter side-on
tubes with a GaAs photocathode.
The R2658P is a photon counting version of the R2658 with low dark
counts.
