PHOTOMULTIPLIER TUBES AND RELATED PRODUCTS

Opening The Future with Photonics
Human beings obtain more than 70 percent of the information visually by

using their eyes. However, there are vast sums of information and unknown
possibilities hidden within light not visible to the naked eye. This kind of light
includes ultraviolet, infrared, X-ray and ultra-low level light impossible for
human eyes to detect.
Since its founding over 50 years ago, Hamamatsu Photonics has been
investigating not only light seen by the human eye but also light that far
exceeds this level. As a leading manufacturer specializing in the field of
photonics, Hamamatsu Photonics has marketed dozens of photosensitive
devices, light sources and related products. Through these state-of-the-art
products, Hamamatsu Photonics has committed itself to pioneering industrial
and academic research work in still unexplored areas in many fields.
Hamamatsu Photonics will continue to deliver innovative breakthroughs in a
diverse range of fields, always striving to make human life fuller and richer by
"researching the many ways to use light".

The photocathode of a photomultiplier tube converts energy
from incident light into electrons. The conversion efficiency (pho-
tocathode sensitivity) varies with the wavelength of the incident
light. This relationship between photocathode sensitivity and wa-
velength is called the spectral response characteristic. Figure 4
shows the typical spectral response of a bialkali photomultiplier
tube. The spectral response on long wavelengths is determined
ELECTRON

ELECTRON by the photocathode material and on short wavelengths by the
window material. Typical spectral response characteristics for
various types of photomultiplier tubes are shown on pages 114
and 115. In this catalog, the long-wavelength cutoff of the spec-
tral response characteristic is defined as the wavelength at
1 mm 13 µm which the cathode radiant sensitivity is 1 % of the maximum sen-
sitivity in bialkali and Ag-O-Cs photocathodes, and 0.1 % of the

●Neutrino and Proton Decay Experiment, Cosmic Ray Detection

Neutrino Experiment
Research on solar neutrinos or particle astophysics is
utilized in a neutrino experiment. This experimental
system consists of a large amount of a medium sur-
rounded by a great number of large-diameter photomul-
tiplier tubes. When cosmic rays such as neutrinos enter
and pass through the medium, their energy and travel-
ing direction are measured by detecting Cherenkov ra-
diation that occurs from interaction with the medium. R5912
Neutrino and Proton Decay Experiment R3600-08
In the neutrino and proton decay experiments being
conducted at Kamioka, Japan, 11,200 photomultiplier
tubes each 20" diameter are installed to surround 1) Large photocathode area

Air Shower Counter
When cosmic rays collide with the earth's atmos-
phere, secondary particles are created by the interac- R1166 (H6520)
tion of the cosmic rays and atmospheric atoms. These R580 (H3178-51)
secondary particles generate more secondary partic- R329-02 (H6410)
les, which continue to increase in a geometrical pro- R6091 (H6559)
gression. This is called an air shower. The gamma- R1250 (H6527)
rays and Cherenkov radiation emitted in this air show- R6234
er are detected by photomultiplier tubes arranged in a
lattice array on the ground.

Photomultiplier Tube Socket Assemblies
Hamamatsu provides a wide variety of socket assemblies specifically designed
for simple and reliable operation of photomultiplier tubes (often abbreviated as
PMTs). These socket assemblies consist primarily of a high quality socket and
voltage divider circuit integrated into a compact case. Variant types are available
with internal current-to-voltage conversion amplifiers, gate circuits and high vol-
tage power supply circuits.

the increases in V1', V2' and V3' directly raise the secondary
emission ratios (δ1, δ2 and δ3) at the dynodes Dy1, Dy2 and
Dy3, and thus boost the overall gain m (= δ1 • δ2 • δ3 ). This is
the cause of overlinearity in region B in Figure 10. As the in-

DA-Type Socket Assemblies
DA-TYPE SOCKET ASSEMBLIES C7246 SERIES, C7247 SERIES
The C7246 and C7247 series are DA type socket assemblies designed for 28 mm (1-1/8 inch) diameter side-on and head-on pho-
tomultiplier tubes. A voltage-divider circuit and an amplifier are incorporated in the same package.
The C7247 series uses an amplifier with a wide bandwidth of 0 Hz to 5 MHz, while the C7246 uses an amplifier with a practical
bandwidth of 0 Hz to 20 kHz to improve the effective S/N ratio. The photomultiplier tube low-level, high-impedance current can be
converted into a low-impedance voltage output by a factor of 0.3 V/µA.
Both the C7246 and C7247 series use an active voltage-divider circuit that ensures excellent DC linearity at low power consump-
tion. The C7246 series also has a gain adjustment function that does not affect amplifier frequency bandwidth.

HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY SOCKET ASSEMBLY C6270, C8991 (DP Type)
HIGH VOLTAGE POWER SUPPLY SOCKET ASSEMBLY WITH TRANSIMPEDANCE AMPLIFIER C6271 (DAP Type)
C6270 is a high voltage power supply socket assembly for 28 mm (1-1/8 inch) diameter side-on photomultiplier tubes (PMTs), in-
corporating a regulated high voltage power supply and an active voltage divider. It enables simple yet stable photomultiplier tube
operations with extended DC output linearity by only supplying +15 V and connecting to a potentiometer or a 0 V to +5 V for high
voltage adjustments.
C6271 further incorporates a transimpedance amplifier which converts the photomultiplier tubes high impedance current signal to
low impedance voltage signal.
The C8991 uses a Cockcroft-Walton type high voltage power supply that ensures high output linearity of photomultiplier tube while
maintaining low power consumption.

The relationship of the secondary electron emission δ for
each dynode to the supplied voltage is expressed as follows:
Gain vs. Supply Voltage
δ = A • Eα TPMOB0082EB
108
where A is a constant, E is the interstage voltage, and α is
another constant determined by the dynode material and
geometric structure. The value of α is usually in the range 107
0.7 to 0.8. When a voltage V is supplied between the anode
and the photocathode of a photomultiplier tube having n dy-
node stages, the overall gain µ is given by 106
µ = (A • Eα)n = {A • [V/n+1]α}n = {An/ (n+1)αn}Vαn

Here, if {An/ (n+1)αn} is substituted for K, µ becomes

µ = K • Vαn
Typical photomultiplier tubes have 9 to 12 dynode stages
and as shown in Figure 23, the gain is proportional to the 6th 104
to 10th power of the voltage supplied between the photoca-

thode and the anode. This essentially means that the output
103
of a photomultiplier tube is extremely sensitive to variations
in the supplied voltage. Thus the power supply stability such
as drift, ripple, temperature regulation, input regulation and
102
load regulation must be at least 10 times as stable as the 200 300 500 700 1000 1500

High Performance Thermoelectric Coolers for 28 mm Dia. Side-on PMTs C9143, C9144 Series
The C9143 and the C9144 are thermoelectric coolers designed for 28mm di-
ameter side-on photomultiplier tubes (PMT). The C9143 and the C9144 im-
prove S/N (signal to noise ratio) of PMT measurement because of reduction
of thermal electrons, which are emitted from PMT photocathode, and minimi-
zation of external noise by a built-in electrostatic and magnetic shield. The
C9143 and the C9144 can communicate with a PC via an RS-232C serial in-
terface. It enables the PC to control the cooling temperature, high voltage
output of C9145 (optionally available socket assembly with a built in Cock-
cloft-Wolton high voltage power supply) and ±5 V power supply for external
equipment. The C9143 and the C9144 use water and forced air respectively
to exchange heat of the thermoelectric cooler (Peltier module).

Magnetic Shield Cases
Magnetic Shield Cases E989 Series
Photomultiplier tubes are extremely sensitive to magnetic fields and exhibit
output variations even from sources such as terrestrial magnetism.
Hamamatsu E989 series magnetic shield cases are designed specifically
to protect photomultiplier tubes from the influence of such magnetic fields.
The E989 series uses permalloy, a material that has an extremely high per-
meability (approximately 105). The magnetic field intensity within the shield
case can be attenuated from 1/1000 to 1/10000 of that outside the shield
case (this ratio is called the shielding factor). The E989 series ensures a
stable output for photomultiplier tubes operating in proximity to magnetic
fields.

● Made of high-permeability permalloy (Ni: 78 %, Fe and others: 22 %)
● Various sizes available with inner diameters from 12 mm to 138 mm

Counting Board M9003 / Counting Unit C8855
▲M9003 ▲C8855
The M9003 and the C8855 can be used as a photon counter when cambined with a photon counting head, etc. The M9003 and the
C8855 have two counter circuits (double counter method) which enable the user to count signal without dead time.
The M9003 does not have its own memory so it sends measurement data directly to the PC's main memory by DMA (direct
memory access) transfer.
The C8855 has a USB interface to allow users to operate it at various fields by connecting to a notebook personal computer. When
used with a photon counting head, the C8855 supplies power (+5 V / 200 mA) necessary to operate the photon counting head.
