Abstract

An in-vacuum light sensor system, including a light sensor assembly comprising a photocathode configured for converting an impinging photon to a photoelectron, a semiconductor diode configured for multiplying the photoelectron impinging thereon, and a housing including vacuum-compatible materials configured for being placed in a vacuum chamber. The housing is configured for housing the photocathode and the semiconductor diode and for propagation of the photoelectron from the photocathode to the semiconductor diode. An electrical biasing subassembly is configured for electrically biasing at least the photocathode and the semiconductor diode, and the vacuum chamber is configured for positioning the light sensor apparatus therein.
