Description

The performance of LED diode gain stabilization schemes for RCH 4522 phototubes is evaluated. Under normal experimental conditions the use of a green Litronix GL56 LED and an ORTEC surface barrier detector provide the best results. An overall gain stabilization of +-0.5% over several months has been achieved. (orig.)
