“…With the application of an ALD process, a gain of 150 has been achieved for a channel aspect ratio of 11.5:1. Anodic alumina has also been investigated [80,81]. Despite some attractive features, this type of material has so far not produced reliable and viable MCPs.…”

a b s t r a c tA micro-channel plate is an array of miniature electron multipliers that are each acting as a continuous dynode chain. The compact channel structure results in high spatial and time resolutions and robustness to magnetic fields. Micro-channel plates have been originally developed for night vision applications and integrated as an amplification element in image intensifiers. These devices show single-photon sensitivity with very low noise and have been used as such for scintillating fiber tracker readout in high-energy physics experiments. Given their very short transit time spread, micro-channel plate photomultiplier tubes are also being used in time-of-flight and particle identification detectors. The present paper will cover the history of the micro-channel plate development, basic features, and some of their applications. Emphasis will be put on various new manufacturing processes that have been developed over the last few years, and that result in a significant improvement in terms of efficiency, noise, and lifetime performance.

h i g h l i g h t s• We propose a method to build computing systems with nanoscale optical devices.• An Optical Logic Element (OLE) is proposed as a basic compute unit.• We demonstrate optical coupling between optical fibers and chromophores.• We build and validate a SPICE model for OLEs, and analyze various logic circuits.• OLE power-delay product is 2.5× lower and area density is 100× higher than CMOS. a r t i c l e i n f o b s t r a c tOptical nanoscale computing is one promising alternative to the CMOS process. In this paper we explore the application of Resonance Energy Transfer (RET) logic to common digital circuits. We propose an Optical Logic Element (OLE) as a basic unit from which larger systems can be built. An OLE is a layered structure that works similar to a lookup table but instead uses wavelength division multiplexing for its inputs and output. Waveguides provide a convenient mechanism to connect multiple OLEs into large circuits. We build a SPICE model from first principles for each component to estimate the timing and power behavior of the OLE system. We analyze various logic circuits and the simulation results show that the components are theoretically correct and that the models faithfully reproduce the fundamental phenomena; the powerdelay product of OLE systems is at least 2.5× less than the 14 nm CMOS technology with 100× better density.

“…Anodization of aluminum can produce pores with diameters between 20 and 500nm, the use of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) membrane coated with conductive metal oxide as an MCP has been proposed (Drobychev et al 2006). This could be an industrially economical process based on self assembly.…”

We advocate support of research aimed at developing alternatives to the photomultiplier tube for photon detection in large astroparticle experiments such as gamma-ray and neutrino astronomy, and direct dark matter detectors. Specifically, we discuss the development of large area photocathode microchannel plate photomultipliers and silicon photomultipliers. Both technologies have the potential to exhibit improved photon detection efficiency compared to existing glass vacuum photomultiplier tubes.
