Abstract

One or more embodiments relates to a method of growing ultrasmooth and high quantum efficiency CsTe photocathodes. The method includes exposing a substrate of Cs using an alkali source such as an effusion cell; and controlling co-evaporating growth and co-deposition forming a CsTe growth. The method further includes monitoring a stoichiometry of the CsTe growth.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for remote optical detection comprising:
an optical pumping source optically connected to an optical fiber;
a first lens optically connected to the optical pumping source and optical fiber;
a first mirror optically connected to the first lens;
an adjustable focus lens arrangement optically connected to the first mirror;
a passively q-switched laser optically connected to the adjustable focus lens;
a beam expander optically connected to the passively q-switched laser;
a second mirror optically connected to the beam expander;
a second lens optically connected to the second mirror;
a third mirror positioned whereby at least some optical response from a sample area is reflected to the third mirror and where the third mirror is optically connected to both the second mirror and a fourth mirror; and
a spectral emission control optically connected to the second mirror to reflect at least some optical response from the sample area, reflected by the second mirror to the third mirror, through the spectral emission control and to the fourth mirror and towards the first lens, which is optically connected to the optical fiber.

2. The system of claim 1 where the adjustable focus lens arrangement comprises two lenses a first focus lens and a second focus lens spaced from and able to move relative to the first focus lens, providing an adjustable focus.

3. The system of claim 2 wherein the first focus lens has a surface defining a first plane and further wherein the second focus lens moves on a second plane orthogonal to the first plane.

4. The system of claim 1 where the beam expander comprising a first expander lens and a second expander lens.

5. The system of claim 1 where the spectral emission control comprises a first spectral emission control lens and a second spectral emission control lens.

6. The system of claim 1 where the first and second mirrors comprise dispersion compensating mirrors (DCMs).
