Application of atomic layer deposited microchannel plates to imaging photodetectors with high time resolution

Journal Article Siegmund, O. H. W. ; McPhate, J. B. ; Tremsin, A. S. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Novel microchannel plates have been constructed using borosilicate glass micro-capillary array substrates with 20 mu m and 10 mu m pores and coated with resistive, and secondary electron emissive, layers by atomic layer deposition. Microchannel plates in 33 mm, 50 mm and 20 cm square formats have been made and tested. Although their amplification, imaging, and timing properties are comparable to standard glass microchannel plates, the background rates and lifetime characteristics are considerably improved. Sealed tube detectors based on the Planacon tube, and a 25 mm cross delay line readout tube with a GaN(Mg) opaque photocathode deposited on borosilicate microchannelmore »« less

Design and fabrication of prototype 6×6 cm 2 microchannel plate photodetector with bialkali photocathode for fast timing applications

Journal Article Xie, Junqi ; Byrum, Karen ; Demarteau, Marcel ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Planar microchannel plate-based photodetector with bialkali photocathode is capable of fast and accurate time and position resolutions. A new 6 cm x 6 cm photodetector production facility was designed and built at Argonne National Laboratory. Small form-factor MCP-based photodetectors completely constructed of glass were designed and prototypes were successfully fabricated. Knudsen effusion cells were incorporated in the photocathode growth chamber to achieve uniform and high quantum efficiency hotocathodes. The thin film uniformity distribution was simulated and measured for an antimony film deposition, showing uniformity of better than 10%. Several prototype devices with bialkali photocathodes have been fabricated with the describedmore »« less

Performance studies of atomic layer deposited microchannel plate electron multipliers

Journal Article Ertley, Camden ; Siegmund, O. ; Cremer, T. ; ... - Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research. Section A, Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment

Microchannel plate (MCP) photon counting, event timing, imaging detectors have found wide use in astronomical, remote sensing, and biological imaging applications. Novel MCP technology using borosilicate glass microcapillary array substrates functionalized by the application of resistive and secondary emissive layers using atomic layer deposition (ALD) techniques has the potential to outperform traditional MCP technology. Using ALD techniques to functionalize the MCPs allow customization of parameters like gain and resistance independently from the glass substrate. Borosilicate substrates have many advantages over traditional micro-capillary arrays, including low radioactive content, higher open area ratios, low outgassing, and high operational stability. These ALD MCPsmore »« less

Cross strip microchannel plate imaging photon counters with high time resolution

Conference Stonehill, Laura C ; Shirey, Robert ; Rabin, Michael W ; ...

We have implemented cross strip readout microchannel plate detectors in 18 mm active area format including open face (UV/particle) and sealed tube (optical) configurations. These have been tested with a field programmable gate array based parallel channel electronics for event encoding which can process high input event rates (> 5 MHz) with high spatial resolution. Using small pore MCPs (6 {micro}m) operated in a pair, we achieve gains of >5 x 10{sup 5} which is sufficient to provide spatial resolution of <35 {micro}m FHWM, with self triggered event timing accuracy of {approx}2 ns for sealed tube optical sensors.
