THE FABRICATION TECHNIQUE AND SPECTRAL CHARACTERISTICS OF A SPECIAL-PURPOSE ULTRAVIOLET PHOTODIODE.

Abstract

In the course of the study of ablation phenomena, the need arose for a small, rugged photodiode which would respond only to ultraviolet light of wavelength less than 3050 A. A photodiode which met these requirements was developed and a number of the phototubes have been fabricated and used in ablation experiments. The report describes the development and fabrication of the photodiode and summarizes its spectral characteristics. (Author)
