Quantum Efficiency

The quantum efficiency describes the ratio between the number of emitted electrons and the number of received photons. The quantum efficiency (QE) of photocathodes depends upon the wavelength and is typically in the range of 1 to 15%. For CCD and CMOS sensors the quantum efficiency might reach up to 80%.
