B Measured at single photoelectron level. The discriminator level is set at valley point. C In practical operation, the cathode current should be lower than 0.1 nA to prevent shortening the life of the photocathode. D Supply voltage is 150 volts between the cathode and all other electrodes. E The light source is a tungsten filament lamp operated at a distribution temperature of 2856 K. F The quotient of the cathode sensitivity measured with the light source is the same as Note D passing through a red filter (Toshiba R-68) divided by the cathode luminous sensitivity without the red filter. G Measured with supply voltage and voltage distribution ratio in Table 1. H Measured with supply voltage to provide the anode luminous sensitivity of 200 (A/lm) and the voltage distribution ratio in Table 1 after 30 minute storage in the darkness. J Measured with supply voltage that gives 2 × 106 gain and with the voltage distribution ratio shown in Table 1 after one hour storage in the cooler set at -20 °C. The discriminator is set at 1/3 of a single photoelectron level. K The rise time is the time it takes the output pulse to rise from 10 % to 90 % of the peak amplitude when the entire photocathode is illuminated by a delta function light pulse. L The electron transit time is the interval between the arrival of a delta function light pulse at the entrance window of the tube and the time when the output pulse reaches the peak amplitude. In measurement the entire photocathode is illuminated.

Therefore, when performing photon counting, it is recommended that the tube be cooled down to about -20 °C. The cooler C10372 which features temperature control from -30 °C to 0 °C is available from HAMAMATSU.

This method decreases noise. Care should be taken not to damage the insulating cover wrapping around the bulb. HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K. TACCA0066EC CAUTIONS ● Use the HAMAMATSU SOCKET E678-21C. ● When soldering the voltage dividers to the socket, the PMT should be inserted in the socket. ● Helium will permeate through the silica bulb, leading to an increase in noise. Avoid operating or storing tubes in an environment where helium is present. ● As the R943-02 has a synthetic silica window, a very thin graded sealing structure is used in the bulb wall. Although it is covered with an insulating cover, extreme care should be taken in handling. www.hamamatsu.com HAMAMATSU PHOTONICS K.K., Electron Tube Division 314-5, Shimokanzo, Iwata City, Shizuoka Pref., 438-0193, Japan, Telephone: (81)539/62-5248, Fax: (81)539/62-2205 U.S.A.: Hamamatsu Corporation: 360 Foothill Road, P.
