Abstract
The photocathode is of the type which comprises a photo-emissive layer consisting of at least an active layer of the P-type, a solid support for said semiconductor of a material which is transparent to radiation, a layer having a bonding glass for the photo-emissive layer on the support. The invention is characterized in that the support comprises two parts situated one on top of the other and which are bonded together, namely a thick second part (thickness for example 5 mm) of a type of glass having properties of thermal expansion which are substantially identical to those of the bonding glass and a part in the form of a disk-shaped first part (thickness for example 1 mm) of a material having softening and transition points which are much higher than those of the bonding glass and of the glass of the thick part.
