Lighting Imaging Telecom Sensors Channel Photomultipliers Channel Photomultipliers Overview and Specifications . CHANNEL PHOTOMULTIPLIER CPM Description PerkinElmer Optoelectronics, formerly EG&G Optoelectronics, is pleased to introduce the Channel Photomultiplier (CPM), a new ultra high sensitivity optical detector which replaces conventional photomultipliers (PMTs) and avalanche photo diodes (APDs). This device uses a unique detector principle, resulting in a compact design with ultra high gain, high dynamic range, extremely low dark current, and fast response. This high-performance detector offers fundamental advantages for analytical instrumentation applications such as emission spectroscopy, flourescence, atomic absorption spectroscopy, and bio and chemo luminescence. The CPM also delivers important advantages in life science products, industrial and medical equipment, and highenergy physics. Features • Ultra high anode sensitivity up to 107 A/W • Extremely low dark current, typically 3pA @ 106 gain • Very low equivalent noise input (down to 10 -17 W) • Very high stability in dark current (no ”bursts”) • High gain exceeding 108 • Very high dynamic range • Compact dimensions • Wide spectral response through multiple window materials • High resolution • Fast response time • High immunity to magnetic fields • Rugged design When compared to conventional PMTs, the CPM improves anode sensitivity by one order of magnitude, while lowering dark current by one to two orders of magnitude. The noise level shows extreme stability over time, with no ”bursts.” The extremely low dark current results in a higher dynamic range than conventional PMTs and extends detectable limits for many applications. The CPM can be used in analog-DC mode, single photon counting mode, and in nuclear spectroscopy (when coupled to scintillation materials like BGO, LSO, Nal, etc.). PerkinElmer Optoelectronics offers a choice of window materials and photocathodes to cover the spectrum from 115 nm (UV range) to 900 nm (NIR). The new detector is a small, head-on type with a total diameter of 10.5 mm including encapsulation. PerkinElmer Optoelectronics also offers custom configurations for specific applications. PRINCIPLE Principle of Operation OF OPERATION Physical Specification Cathode Channel-Entrance Channel-End Anode The CPM, like conventional photomultiplier tubes, converts a very low light level into photoelectrons by a semitransparent photocathode deposited on the inner surface of the entrance window. On their way from the cathode to the anode the photoelectrons pass through a narrow, semiconductive channel. Each time the electrons hit the inner wall of the curved channel, multiple secondary electrons are emitted. This effect occurs multiple times along the path, leading to an avalanche effect with a gain exceeding 108. The curved shape of the glass tube improves the multiplication effect. -HV red -HV +50…+300 V blue -20…-50 V black Coax 100 V 1 Mohm -HV Proposal for Power Supply MAIN FEATURES Compact Size The CPM is one of the smallest headon type detectors, with a 10.5 mm diameter including encapsulation. The photocathode has a useful diameter of more than 5 mm. The tube is smaller, easier to use, and more rugged than discrete dynode types. Only a single high voltage supply of up to 3000 volts is necessary; no external voltage divider network is required. A variety of different sizes will be available soon (1/2” and 3/4”).

At 2400 V, anode sensitivity is typically 3 x 106 A/W at a wavelength of 410 nm with a bialkali photocathode. This performance surpasses conventional PMTs by one to two orders of magnitude and beats APDs by approximately five orders of magnitude (Fig. 1).

Bialkali photocathodes exhibit typical dark count rates of 10 cps at a gain of 3 x 108, while UV cathodes have dark count rates below 1 cps. In analog DC mode, the typical dark noise for a bialkali photocathode is 20 pA at a gain of 107. In general, the noise level of the PerkinElmer Optoelectronics CPM is one to two orders of magnitude lower than dynode PMTs, resulting in a significantly higher dynamic range (Fig.2). Dark Current (A) High stability in dark current level As a result of the semiconductive inner surface of the CPM, no charge-up effects occur at the glass surface. This results in a very high stability of the dark current level over time, with no sudden changes (bursts). The semiconductive surface also causes high-light recovery times to be extremely small. Fig. 3: Typical photo electron spectrum 2000 PMT CPM 1500 Excellent photon counting resolution At gains exceeding 107 the single photo electron pulse is perfectly separated from the electrical noise, due to a saturation effect of the channel. The CPM exhibits single photon resolution with excellent peak to valley ratios. Fig. 3 shows the single photo electron spectrum taken from a multi-channel analyzer compared to a conventional photomultiplier (Fig. 3).

The combination of different photocathodes and entrance windows results in a spectral range from 115 nm to 900 nm. Other window materials and photocathode combinations are available on a custom basis (Fig. 4.1 and 4.2).
