The R9110 is 28 mm (1-1/8 inch) diameter, 9-stage, side-on type pho-
tomultiplier tube having an extended red multialkali photocathode
same as the R3896. The R9110 features very low dark current, ex-
tremely high quantum efficiency, high gain, good S/N ratio and wide
spectral response from UV to near infrared.
The R9110P is a photon counting version of the R9110 with low dark
counts.

NOTES
A: Averaged over any interval of 30 seconds maximum.
B: The light source is a tungsten filament lamp operated at a distribution
temperature of 2856K.
Supply voltage is 100 volts between the cathode and all other electrodes
connected together as anode.
C: Red/White ratio is the quotient of the cathode current measured using a
red filter (Toshiba R-68) interposed between the light source and the tube
by the cathode current measured with the filter removed under the same
conditions as Note B.
D: The value is cathode output current when a blue filter (Corning CS 5-58
polished to 1/2 stock thickness) is interposed between the light source
and the tube under the same condition as Note B.
E: Measured with the same light source as Note B and with the voltage
distribution ratio shown in Table 1 below.

P
H: The rise time is the time for 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.
I: The electron transit time is the interval between the arrival of delta
function light pulse at the entrance window of the tube and the time when
the anode output reaches the peak amplitube. In measurement, the whole
photocathode is illuminated.
J: Also called transit time jitter. This is the fluctuation in electron transit time
between individual pulses in the single photoelectron mode, and may be
defined as the FWHM of the frequency distribution of electron transit
times.
K: Hysteresis is temporary instability in anode current after light and voltage
are applied.

(1)Light Hysteresis
The tube is operated at 750 volts with an anode current of 1 microampere for
5 minutes. The light is then removed from the tube for a minute. The tube is
then re-illuminated by the previous light level for a minute to measure the
variation.
(2)Voltage Hysteresis
The tube is operated at 300 volts with an anode current of 0.1 micro-ampere
for 5 minutes. The light is then removed from the tube and the supply voltage
is quickly increased to 800 volts. After a minute, the supply voltage is then
reduced to the previous value and the tube is re-illuminated for a minute to
measure the variation.
