Abstract: To improve resolution of a low-light image intensifier,simulation of electronic transport in a micro-channel plate(MCP) is made.Field distribution is obtained by calculating electron optics with numerical method.Distribution of photoelectron on fluorescent screen is determined by tracing electron trajectory in MCP.Influence of MCP tilt angle,channel diameter,voltage on electronic transport and resolution of image intensifier are studied.It shows that MCP has good electronic transport characteristics,image intensifier has good modulation transfer function(MTF) and high resolution at a title angle of 14°,channel diameter of 5.0 μm,a voltage of 900 V.

Key words: MCP, transport of electrons, MTF, resolution
