Abstract

Performance characteristics of Bendix type BX 8025-4522 proximity focused image tubes for uv to visible light conversion are presented. Quantum efficiency, resolution, background, geometric distortion, and environmental test results are discussed. The converters use magnesium fluoride input windows with Cs–Te photocathodes and P-11 phosphors on fiber optic output windows.
