“…Diamond and germanium photocathodes, respectively, are placed in the focal planes of the lens. A diamond photocathode records an image of the object emitting in the UV range (0.18−0.25 µm) [1,2], and an image of the surrounding area is recorded in the reflected radiation of the night sky in the near infrared (IR) range (0.8−1.5 µm). The proposed image receiver can be used in solving a wide range of problems.…”

A single-channel, two-spectral image receiver of objects emitting in UV radiation, made in the image intensifier tube architecture, was proposed and investigated. With the help of the COMSOL Multiphysics software package, search optimal measurements of the potential on the elements of the image receiver (silicon membrane, germanium and diamond photocathode, MCP input and output sensors) were implemented, which provides the possibility of registering and presence of UV objects in relation to the terrain. Keywords: image intensifier tube, diamond photocathode, germanium photocathode, ultraviolet radiation, object imager, photoelectron emission, secondary electron emission.
