英文摘要：

Background： Many performance parameters of photomultiplier tube （PMT） are tested on the basis of the single photoelectron spectroscopy, so single-photon source is essential to the batch test of PMT and requirements of light source for precise single photo electron spectrum measurement. Purpose： The study aims to design a single-photon pulse generator used in batch test for PMT. Methods： A control panel for the adjustable pulse signal generator with multi-channel output is designed and implemented after the performance test analysis of PMT. A MAX10-10M08SAE144C8G FPGA （Field-Programmable Gate Array） chip, a STM32F107 ARM （Acorn RISC Machine） controller and a DP83848 Ethernet chip are integrated to realize desired functionalities. PC sends commands to STM32F107 via Ethernet; then ARM controller analyzes commands and sends them to FPGA to achieve adjustable duty cycle, and adjustable frequency, adjustable amplitude pulse output through the level conversion chip. Results： Compared with the most often used RIGOO-DG5352 signal generator, the newly-designed single-photon pulse generator showed better performance on both the fall time and the rise time. Conclusion： The output signals of this single-photon pulse generator could match the requirements in the PMT single photo-electron spectrum test. Also it can be extended to multi-channel outputs for PMT batch test.
