Detectors: Diamond dynodes create a new breed of photon detectors

Sept. 1, 2008
The attractive properties of diamond films—used as dynode materials requiring few gain stages—enable the development of micromachined, large-area, low-noise photon-counting detector arrays in which each pixel is equivalent to a miniaturized photomultiplier tube.

The attractive properties of diamond films—used as dynode materials requiring few gain stages—enable the development of micromachined, large-area, low-noise photon-counting detector arrays in which each pixel is equivalent to a miniaturized photomultiplier tube. This application of diamond will provide a fundamental enabling technology for the next generation of three-dimensional photon- and particle-counting detectors.
