A new processing technology and the properties of multialkali antimonide photocathodesare described.The technique requires an initial antimony layer to be deposited on a fiber-optic window at asuitable temperature.After that.the layer is activated by multialkali and antimonide.Thus.the multialkaliphotocathodes named“The Modern Multialkali Photocathode”are obtained.It has been found that aphotocathode thus processed gives a sensitivity of 200 to 300μA/Im for white light at a color temperature of2854K.This paper shows the variation of photosensitivity during processing of a Modern MultialkaliPhotocathode and the variatioon of spectral sensitivity at different wavelengths.The author discusses theresults.gives a supposition of“photoemission center”,and discusses the role of Cs in multialkaliphotocathodes.
