UNITIZED SYSTEM OF IMAGE INTENSIFIERS USING FIBER OPTICS. Progress Report for July to October 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4201878
Various sealing techniques were investigated for a fiber optic faceplate which is to be used in the output end of a light intensifier. The vacuum side of the faceplate is to be coated with an aluminum-backed P15 phosphor and is to have an effective radiating diameter of 1 inch. The seal selected uses a 7572 devitrifying frit with glass plate and geometrical support being beveled (20 deg ) to fit. The design of a container-support for a photocathode fiber optic faceplate to be used in a light intensifier tabe with fiber optic faceplates on both the input and output is given. (C.J.G.)
