Application of Solid-state Elements to Photoemissive Devices

"New" and "Old" ideas in photon detection

“…In the mid of 1960s J.M. Abraham with his colleagues [10] and Ray Kalibjan [11,12] did a lot of experiments with hybrid phototubes with silicon diodes. Unfortunately, they did not manage to develop hybrid phototubes with discernible single photoelectron peak in charge distribution.…”
