Development of Proximity and Electrostatically Focused Diodes for UV Measurements from Sounding Rockets.
Abstract
This report describes the development of two types of imaging digicon detectors for ultraviolet measurements from rockets. The detectors consist of sealed tubes with a semitransparent photocathode of cesium iodide or cesium telluride. Photoelectrons accelerated to about 25 kV are detected by a silicon diode array. One tube has a ten by ten square array with proximity focussing and is used to obtain spatial intensity measurements. The other tube has a one by thirty-six linear array that is placed in the focal plane of a spectrograph. The problems associated with construction of these devices are discussed. Laboratory test results demonstrating the use of these tubes are given. (Author)
