Abstract
In this paper the fatigue produced by pulsed light sources on an RCA C31034 photomultiplier connected to a photon-counting system is studied experimentally. This fatigue is compared to that obtained when utilizing a continuous light source with the same mean intensity value. It is found that the fatigue produced by the pulsed source is of the same order as that produced by the continuous source, even though pulses are very distant between them. This is explained assuming that when fatigue magnitude decreases the relaxation velocity of the fatigue decreases as well.
