摘要:
For the purpose of generating an electron beam (5), a quasi-optical gyrotron comprises an electron-beam gun (1) with an annular cathode (2). The electron beam (5) passes along an electron beam axis (6) and in so doing is compressed by a static magnetic field and forced into gyration, so that it excites in a quasi-optical resonator a standing alternating electromagnetic field of specific wavelength. The resonator exhibits two mirrors (9a, 9b) arranged opposite to one another on a resonator axis (8) aligned perpendicular to the electron beam axis (6). In order to increase the efficiency of the gyrotron, the annular cathode (2) alternately exhibits segments of high and low emitting power such that the electron beam (5) has an azimuthally varying current density, values of low current density in the resonator coinciding spatially with nodal surfaces of the standing alternating electromagnetic field.
摘要:
A field-emission cathode comprises a substrate having a conductive surface, a gate electrode and a focusing electrode overlying the substrate with insulation layers interposed therebetween, a plurality of cavities formed by penetrating the gate electrode, focusing electrode and insulation layers, and an emitter formed in each of the cavities on the substrate for emission of an electron beam. The emitter has tip located at a level between the gate electrode and the focusing electrode, which receive therebetween a signal for modulating the electron beam at a high frequency.
