Popis: We have designed and fabricated new photo-tubes and photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) using InxGa1-xN films as photocathodes. Longer spectral cutoffs were controlled with Indium compositions x, from 365 nm to 430 nm. The calibrated maximum quantum efficiency (QE) of 56% at 200 nm was achieved for x = 0.11 Indium composition in the photo-tubes. Sharp cutoffs at around 160 nms were determined by window materials and those at around 400 nms were determined by the band gaps of the photocathodes. Gain and input/output linearity properties were confirmed to be very good for the PMTs. (© 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
