Abstract: The disclosure is directed to a system and method of fueling and mitigating debris for an illumination source. An illumination system may include a plasma-based illumination source. The illumination system may provide illumination along an illumination path emanating from an illumination origin of the illumination source. A gas jet nozzle may be disposed at a selected distance from the illumination origin or proximate to the illumination origin. The gas jet nozzle may be configured to provide fuel gas to fuel the plasma-based illumination source. The gas jet nozzle may be further configured to provide fuel gas in a selected direction substantially opposite to a direction of illumination emanating from the illumination origin to remove at least a portion of debris from the illumination path.

Abstract: A device suitable for switching large currents includes, within a gas filled envelope, an anode, electrodes and a thermionic cathode. Initially the device holds off a voltage until a triggering pulse is applied to an electrode. This cause an electron current to be established between the thermionic cathode and the anode. When the current reaches a sufficiently large value further conduction through the device occurs via current drawn from the surface of the electrode in a cold cathode mode, bypassing the cathode.

Abstract: It is an object of the invention to provide a discharge tube in which the electrical insulating property between the discharge trigger wires is not deteriorated by the sputtering substance generated when discharge is conducted between the upper and the lower discharge electrode. There are provided sub-discharge trigger wires 50 at the center of the inner circumferential wall of the airtight cylinder 10 under the condition that the sub-discharge trigger wires 50 are electrically insulated from the upper and the lower discharge electrode. At the same time, there are provided discharge trigger wires 30a connected with the upper discharge electrode and discharge trigger wires 30b connected with the lower discharge electrode in the upper and the lower portion of the inner circumferential wall of the airtight cylinder 10 at which there is no possibility of adhesion of the sputtering substance 40 generated in the process of discharging conducted by the upper and the lower discharge electrode. A distance between the discharge trigger wires 30a, 30b is electrically reduced via the sub-discharge trigger wires 50. An initial discharge is stably generated at an early stage between the fore end portions of the discharge trigger wires 30a, 30b and the end portions of the sub-discharge trigger wires 50 located close to the discharge trigger wires 30a, 30b.

Abstract: An improved gas discharge trigger for a pseudogap cold cathode thyratron. Electrical trigger pulses are capacitively coupled through the vacuum envelope wall (16) causing a gas discharge adjacent to the rear of the hollow cathode (26). Coupling apertures (12) between the trigger discharge region and the hollow cathode allow ionization to propagate into the rear of the hollow cathode and trigger the pseudogap from a non conducting to conducting state.
