Abstract
We report on life testing of conventional microchannel plates (MCPs) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) MCPs. For the Global-scale Observations of the Limb and Disk (GOLD) mission, long-duration, deep charge extraction testing was performed on a Z-stack triplet of 12 μm pore conventional MCPs with a CsI photocathode on the top surface. A relatively low gain (≈1000e-), modest charge extraction (0.07 C/cm2) full-field conditioning burn-in was performed followed by a very deep narrow line burn-in to emulate a GOLD spectral line. The gain local to the line burn-in decreased by ≈20% over ≈1 C/cm2 of extracted charge, and then remained stable (to 95 C/cm2). We also present the performance of several sets of 20 μm pore ALD MCPs with MgO secondary electron emission layers through full-field conditioning burn-ins at both full gain and low gain.
