Determination of the Relative Spectral Sensitivity of Phototubes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The determination of the relative spectral response of phototubes usually involves the calibration of the spectrum from a monochromator and subsequent exposure of the phototubes thereto. To avoid the well-known difficulties of radiometry, involving monochromators, thermocouples and/or thermopiles, galvanometers, and amplifiers, an alternative method is developed. Instead of using the calibrated spectrum from a monochromator as a radiation standard, known radiation samples are obtained from the combination of an accurately calibrated tungsten lamp with each of a conveniently spaced set of narrow band interference filters of the Fabry-Perot type.
