ABSTRACT:
A photocathode which is responsive to ultraviolet light to release photoelectrons includes a supportive window layer of sapphire and a single-crystal active layer of AlGaN. Interposed between the window layer and the active layer is an interface layer which insures a low population density of crystalline defects at the interface of the interface layer with the active layer and in the active layer itself. Consequently, the photocathode is an effective emitter of photoelectrons in the transmission mode.
