15 Spectral Quantum Yield Figure: DBR-related resonance features in Quantum Yield

16 Heating Experiments In a specific wavelength region (here: 780 nm to 860 nm) DBR photo cathodes should not heat as much as a corresponding crystal without mirror and therefore have an extended lifetime.

17 Lifetime Figure: Lifetime of DBR SL 600 mw

18 Special features to pay attention to The Plateau: no decrease in quantum yield during the first hours/days after activation

19 Special features to pay attention to The Bump: temporary rise of the quantum yield after increasing the irradiation power

20 Special features to pay attention to The Drop-Off: continuing (even accelerated) decrease of the quantum yield after decreasing the irradiation power
