Abstract
The quantum efficiency of the blue–green transmission-mode GaAlAs photocathode has been studied. Two transmission-mode GaAlAs photocathodes with different structures are prepared, and the quantum efficiency curves are measured. We use the quantum efficiency formula to fit the experimental curves, and obtain the performance parameters of photocathodes such as the electron diffusion length, the back interface recombination velocity, and the surface electron escape probability. The effects of the Al compositions, the thickness of emission layer, and the electron diffusion length on quantum efficiency are investigated. The results show that both of transmission-mode GaAlAs photocathodes are sensitive to the blue–green light. The peak quantum efficiency of one photocathode appears at about 565nm, while that of another photocathode appears at about 535nm. The Al composition of emission layer plays a major role on the peak position of quantum efficiency of transmission-mode GaAlAs photocathode. Besides, the thickness of emission layer and the Al composition of window layer also have a large influence on the quantum efficiency.
