PMT1: Using a Photomultiplier to Detect Single Photons

Photomultiplier (PMT) principle, operation and measurements explained. In the follow-up video, I'll demonstrate an experiment involving single photon measurements using photomultipliers:    • PMT2: Photon  Bunching / Hanbury Brown & T...   00:00 Intro and overview 00:30 The photoelectric effect 02:11 Detecting single photons 03:33 How a PMT detects a photon 10:35 How to operate a PMT 17:00 Measurements with a photomultiplier 24:59 Conclusions The video contains 2 short clips taken from other Youtube channels: ‪@reps‬ and ‪@ElectroBOOM‬
