LOW-LIGHT-LEVEL NIR (NEAR INFRARED:1.4 µm/1.7 µm) MEASUREMENT PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBES R5509-43/R5509-73 OF NIR and EXCLUSIVE COOLERS
OVER VIEW
Hamamatsu near infrared photomultiplier tubes (NIR-PMT) R550943 and -73 have photocathodes with extended spectral response ranges to 1.4 µm or 1.7 µm where beyond 1.1 µm have been the limit of conventional photocathodes. The R5509-43 is recommended for detection up to 1.35 µm, while the R5509-73 is up to 1.7 µm.
FEATURES
GHigh sensitivity enables accurate PL (Photoluminescence) measurement with a low excitation power that could not be obtained with a strong excitation.
High gain and low noise improve the detection limit.
GFlat response from visible to near IR minimizes spectral sensitivity correction.
The spectral response covers a wide range from 0.3 µm to 1.4 µm or 1.7 µm.
GPhotoluminescence from a room temperature sample can be measured.
High sensitivity enables weak light emission measurement.
GTime resolved measurement in near IR is realized.

[Cautions for operation]
GOperate the tube at the maximum average anode current of less than 2 µA while the entire photocathode is illuminated in order to avoid the photocathode damage due to excessive cathode current. GIn order to protect the photocathode, the high voltage should be increased or decreased gradually. GWhen the R5509-43 or -73 shall be operated, do not supply the high voltage before the tube is cooled down to -70 °C at least. GUse the exclusive cooler C9940-01 or C9940-02 for cooling. GA cooler other than specified may cause a trouble in the tube like loss of performance or a mechanical damage. Any trouble caused in association with a cooler other than specified shall not be subject to warranty. GHamamatsu photomultiplier tubes are warranted to the original purchase for a period of 12 months following the date of shipment. The warranty is limited to repair or replacement of any defective material due to defects in workmanship or materials used in manufacture.

Exclusive coolers C9940-01, C9940-02
The C9940-01, -02 are exclusive coolers for R5509 series photomultiplier tubes. To operate the R5509 series, it is necessary to cool it down to -70 °C to -90 °C range (recommended temperature: -80 °C). Cooling suppresses dark current and improves signal to noise ratio to make weak near infrared light measurements possible with high sensitivity. Two types are available with different line voltage regulations, 100 V to 115 V (C9940-01) and 230 V (C9940-02) .
