超快速时间特性的光电倍增管的时间特性研究, 对进一步研制国产超快时间响应的微通道板光电倍增管 (FPMT)具有重要的指导作用。本文基于高能物理通用的 VME测试方案, 设计装置采用皮秒激光器的单光子脉冲工作模式, 最终实现系统误差为 25 ps的 FPMT高精度时间测试系统。通过优化 FPMT阳极信号读出方式、优化分压器结构及分压比例, 对多款 FPMT的时间特性进行测试研究。并提出在非单光子工作模式下表征 FPMT时间分辨特性的本征时间下限值, 用以对比分析各种不同工作状态的 FPMT的时间分辨好坏。在对多款 FPMT读出方式完成优化结构设计和对比测试后, 研究结果表明, 目前实验室来自不同生产单位的样管中, 最佳的本征时间分辨下限值为 30 ps。

Study of the time characteristics of photomultiplier tube with ultra-fast time characteristics has an impor-tant guiding role for the further development of ultra-fast time response microchannel plate photomultiplier tube (FPMT). Based on the VME test system in high-energy physics and picosecond laser with single-photon pulse mode,this manuscript designs a device to test the FPMT with 25 ps system error. The time characteristics of various FPMTs were tested by optimizing the FPMT signal readout anode, the voltage divider structure and voltage division ratio. The intrinsic time lower limit value of the FPMT in the non-single-photon working mode, is proposed to compare and analyze the time resolution of different FPMTs in different working states. After completing various optimized readout anode structural design for the FPMTs, it can be find that the best FPMT prototype in our Lab has the best intrinsic time resolution lower limit of 30 ps.
