Photomultipliers are available with gain capabilities ranging from 103 to 108 – the more dynode stages in the photomultiplier, the higher the gain capability. The figure below indicates the variation of photomultiplier gain, g, with applied voltage for the range of fast, BeCu, 52 mm photomultipliers, illustrating the effect of increasing the number of dynodes.
