What is the primary mechanism that allows photomultiplier tubes to detect extremely low levels of light?
Electron multiplication through multiple dynode stages amplifies the initial photoelectron signal.
The tube directly converts photons into a large electrical current without amplification.
Photomultiplier tubes detect light by storing photons in a vacuum chamber for later measurement.

What is a key difference between LEDs and lasers that affects their use in monochromatic light applications?
LEDs produce coherent light but at lower power than lasers.
LEDs emit incoherent light through spontaneous emission, while lasers emit coherent light via stimulated emission.
Lasers emit incoherent light, whereas LEDs emit perfectly monochromatic light.

Layered Photodiodes
Layered photodiodes enhance light detection by stacking semiconductor materials for precise photon sensing
25 Jan 2026
0
How do layered photodiodes improve the detection of specific wavelengths compared to single-layer photodiodes?
By increasing the thickness of a single semiconductor layer to absorb more photons of all wavelengths equally.
By stacking different semiconductor materials, each layer can be optimized to absorb different wavelengths, enhancing overall spectral sensitivity.
By using a single semiconductor material with a uniform bandgap that detects all wavelengths without discrimination.
