Abstract

A microchannel plate for detecting neutrons includes a hydrogen-rich polymer substrate that defines a plurality of channels extending from a top surface of the substrate to a bottom surface of the substrate, where neutrons interact with the plurality of channels to generate at least one secondary electron. A top electrode is positioned on the top surface of the substrate and a bottom electrode is positioned on the bottom surface of the substrate. A resistive layer is formed over an outer surface of the plurality of channels that provides ohmic conduction with a resistivity that is substantially constant. An emissive layer is formed over the resistive layer. Neutron interaction products interact with the plurality of channels defined by the substrate and the emissive films to generate secondary electrons that cascade within the plurality of channels to provide an amplified signal related to the detection of neutrons.

Abstract

A microchannel plate includes a substrate defining a plurality of channels extending from a top surface of the substrate to a bottom surface of the substrate. A resistive layer is formed over an outer surface of the plurality of channels that provides ohmic conduction with a predetermined resistivity that is substantially constant. An emissive layer is formed over the resistive layer. A top electrode is positioned on the top surface of the substrate. A bottom electrode positioned on the bottom surface of the substrate.

Abstract

A microchannel plate includes a substrate defining a plurality of pores extending from a top surface of the substrate to a bottom surface of the substrate. The plurality of pores includes a resistive material on an outer surface that forms a first emissive layer. A second emissive layer is formed over the first emissive layer. The second emissive layer is chosen to achieve at least one of an increase in secondary electron emission efficiency and a decrease in gain degradation as a function of time. A top electrode is positioned on the top surface of the substrate and a bottom electrode is positioned on the bottom surface of the substrate.

Abstract

An image intensifying device includes a lens that is positioned at a light input that forms an image of a scene. The image intensifying device also includes an image intensifier tube that includes a photocathode that is positioned to receive the image formed by the lens. The photocathode generates photoelectrons in response to the light image of the scene. The image intensifier tube also includes a microchannel plate having an input surface comprising the photocathode. The microchannel plate receives the photoelectrons generated by the photocathode and generating secondary electrons. An electron detector receives the secondary electrons generated by the microchannel plate and generates an intensified image of the scene.

Abstract

A microchannel amplifier includes an insulating substrate that defines at least one microchannel pore through the substrate from an input surface to an output surface. A conductive layer is formed on an outer surface of the at least one microchannel pore that has a non-uniform resistance as a function of distance through the at least one microchannel pore. The non-uniform resistance is selected either to simulate saturation by reducing gain or to improve linearity by increasing said gain as a function of input current and bias voltage compared with uniform resistance. A first and second electrode is deposited on a respective one of the input and the output surfaces of the insulating substrate. The microchannel amplifier amplifying emissions propagating through the at least one microchannel pore when the first and second electrodes are biased.
