Abstract
A simple method for measuring and evaluation of nonlinearity of the ph otomultiplier response efficiency using two controlled noncalibrated l ight sources is presented. The accuracy of the response efficiency non linearity evaluation and its linearization procedure was found to be 0 .15%. As was shown, a photomultiplier nonlinearity led to nonproportio nal distortions of photoelectronic estimates.
