... The frequency () of the radiation emitted depends on the difference between the higher and lower energy levels involved in the transition. Remember that a specific frequency correlates with a specific wavelength (and color!) through c = . Bohr model of the atom Bohr used this model to explain t ...

... loosely held and can easily be moved to another atom or ion. • Because of their distance from the nucleus, free electrons have a weak magnetic attraction. Since this attraction is not as strong to the nucleus as the bound electrons on the inner orbits, the electrons move easily from atom to atom. ...

Noise and Relative Photon Detection Efficiency
... Compared to photodiodes, APDs use free negative charged carriers, which gain enough energy in the accelerating field E to create electron-hole pairs themselves. This process is visualized in figure 3.2. Reverse-biased diodes can achieve amplification of the signal up to 50 − 200 compared to regular ...

Photomultiplier
Photomultiplier tubes (photomultipliers or PMTs for short), members of the class of vacuum tubes, and more specifically vacuum phototubes, are extremely sensitive detectors of light in the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared ranges of the electromagnetic spectrum. These detectors multiply the current produced by incident light by as much as 100 million times (i.e., 160 dB), in multiple dynode stages, enabling (for example) individual photons to be detected when the incident flux of light is very low. Unlike most vacuum tubes, they are not obsolete.The combination of high gain, low noise, high frequency response or, equivalently, ultra-fast response, and large area of collection has maintained photomultipliers an essential place in nuclear and particle physics, astronomy, medical diagnostics including blood tests, medical imaging, motion picture film scanning (telecine), radar jamming, and high-end image scanners known as drum scanners. Elements of photomultiplier technology, when integrated differently, are the basis of night vision devices.Semiconductor devices, particularly avalanche photodiodes, are alternatives to photomultipliers; however, photomultipliers are uniquely well-suited for applications requiring low-noise, high-sensitivity detection of light that is imperfectly collimated.
