Abstract

The presence of photon reflection in the input surface of the microchannel plate causes photon scattered noise, which reduces the signal-to-noise ratio of the micro-light image intensifier. The input surface of the microchannel plate was covered with ion barrier film, which had a great impact on the input surface photon reflection. In order to study the effects of ion barrier film Al₂O₃ on the photon reflection characteristics of microchannel plate input surface, this paper uses the spectrophotometer system to test the 4 groups filmed and un-filmed microchannel plate input surface reflectivity in the 200-800nm band range.The results show that the reflectivity of the microchannel plate with ion barrier film can be kept below 4% and about 2.0% lower than that of the un-filmed microchannel plate; and in the short wave interval, The amplitude of the reflectivity of the filmed and un-filmed microchannel plate is larger,the variation of the long wave interval is relatively gentle.That is valuable to reduce photon scattered noise of microchannel plate.
