Intensifier Generations<br />

1. Generation<br />

Image intensifiers without MCP<br />

2. Generation<br />

MCP image intensifiers with multi-alkali photocathodes<br />

3. Generation (Filmed)<br />

GaAs photocathodes on glass input windows<br />

Susceptible to ion damage<br />

⇒ ion barrier film (Al 2O 3) on MCP input<br />

⇒ 1) reduces effective QE by ≈ 1/4<br />

2) 800 V photocathode voltage (slower gating)
