  • Thermally assisted negative electron affinity photocathode
    Patent number: 10692683
    Abstract: A novel photocathode employing a conduction band barrier is described. Incorporation of a barrier optimizes a trade-off between photoelectron transport efficiency and photoelectron escape probability. The barrier energy is designed to achieve a net increase in photocathode sensitivity over a specific operational temperature range.
    Type: Grant
