Abstract: A field controlled plasma discharge display element is disclosed for light source use in single element and multiple element plasma discharge electrostatic printers. The display element includes a pair of hollow discharge electric field electrodes, and a third electrode positioned external to and aligned with the discharge electric field electrodes for generating a control electric field proximate to the discharge electric field. The control electric field is used to control the intensity of the plasma discharge by distorting the shape of the generated discharge electric field. The single element plasma discharge device is modulated in accordance with the image to be printed and the modulated output is scanned across the photoconductive surface to produce the latent image. The multi-element matrix hollow cathode discharge device, on the other hand, generates the latent image on the photoconductive surface using either a line imaging (using a one by y matrix discharge device) effect or a page imaging (using an x by y matrix discharge device) effect.

Abstract: A CROSSATRON plasma switch has a peak current capability in excess of 10kA and a switching speed of at least 1.times.10.sup.11 A/sec, making it compatible with the requirements of excimer and CO.sub.2 gas laser switches, and yet is small enough to be mechanically integrated with such lasers. It employs an axially corrugated cathode with a body diameter on the order of 10 cm and shallow corrugations whose depths are about 1.0-1.5 times the distance between corrugations, together with a reduced diameter anode (of about 2.5 cm diameter for an excimer laser and about 1.25 cm diameter for a CO.sub.2 laser), to obtain a plasma volume of about 50-100 cm.sup.3 for rapid switching. A magnet assembly around the cathode uses only two stacked magnets, but has an overall greater axial length and surface magnetic strength than in prior switches. The magnet design produces a high field strength near the cathode, but without a significant extension of the field into the anode region.

Abstract: A plasma display device comprises two plates defining a gas filled space therebetween, striped anodes and cathodes, wherein the cathodes are composed of a first cathode element and a second cathode element, and a sealing layer. The second cathode is formed on said first cathode element. The sealing layer is formed between the cathodes to prevent the first element from being exposed to the gas filled space.

Abstract: A diverging magnetic field is established between the cathode and control electrode of a hollow cathode plasma switch to expand the plasma at a passageway through the control electrode, thus significantly increasing the switch's current handling capability. Preferred ranges of magnetic field strength, gas pressure, spacing between the hollow cathode and control electrode, and the mesh aperture size for the control grid are described.
