Critical Parameters

Parameter Description Typical Value (Fast PTM) H6780-02
Rise Time (TR) The time interval between the arrival of photon at the cathode and the arrival of the amplified pulse at the anode 0,05 (MCP) to 3 ns 0,78 ns (0,2 s settling time)
Transit Time (TT) The time interval between the arrival of photon at the cathode and the arrival of the amplified pulse at the anode MCP:0,5 ns. PMT: 5-30 ns
Transit Time Spread (TTS) Considered as the most important specification for time-resolved measurements; the timing variation due to the different geometric paths that the electrons can take from the cathode to the anode MCP: 0,025 ns. PMT: 0,2-1,5 ns

So whats's up with the MCP's?

Microchannel Plate PMT, has plates containing numerous small holes, microchannels, which are lined with a secondary emissive dynode material. Electrons are amplified as they drop down the voltage gradients across the microchannel plate.

MCP-PMT shows the fastes time response due to the restricted range of electron paths and short electron travel distance.

Disadvantage is lower gain and photocurrent typ at 100 nA vs. 10-100uA for dyanode PMT
