The Sensitivity of Various Phototubes as a Function of the Color Temperature of the Light Source

A. Cramwinckel

A description is given of a measuring method and measurements for ascertaining the sensitivity of different types of phototubes, viz., cesium-oxide, gas-filled, and vacuum phototubes, cesium-antimony vacuum phototubes, and selenium photovoltaic cells, as a function of the temperature of the light source (tungsten ribbon lamp). The results are compared with the surface brightness of the light source as a function of the temperature.
