Abstract:
A photocell receiver is provided on the outer surface thereof in front of its light-sensitive surface with at least one electrode capable of transmitting luminous radiation, the electrode being positioned so that when supplied with an alternating voltage it produces an alternating electric field which penetrates through the light-sensitive surface to affect photoelectrons thereon.
Abstract:
A system for generating an electron beam array, comprising a light source, a first substrate having a plurality of plasmonic lenses mounted thereon, the plasmonic lenses configured to received light from the light source and produce an electron emission, and a plurality of electrostatic microlenses configured to focus the electron emissions into a beam for focusing on a wafer substrate. A light source modulator and digital micro mirror may be included which captures light from the light source and projects light beamlets on the plasmonic lenses.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a photocathode having a structure that permits a decrease in the radiant sensitivity at low temperatures is suppressed so that the S/N ratio is improved. In the photocathode, a light absorbing layer is formed on the upper layer of a substrate. An electron emitting layer is formed on the upper layer of the light absorbing layer. A contact layer having a striped-shape is formed on the upper layer of the electron emitting layer. A surface electrode composed of metal is formed on the surface of the contact layer. The interval between bars in the contact layer is adjusted so as to become 0.2 μm or more but 2 μm or less.

Abstract:
A method of treating brain tumors in a patient, comprising the steps of: identifying and locating a brain tumor in vivo; implanting at least a portion of an adjustable x-ray source in the patient proximate to the tumor, where the x-ray source generates an electron beam along a path on or slightly offset from a central axis to an x-ray emitting target element; and controlling the x-ray source to generate an x-ray pattern to selectively irradiate the tumor. Also disclosed is a method and apparatus for detecting certain x-ray photons generated by the x-ray source and propagating back on a path which is along or slightly off-set from the central axis of the implanted radiation source.
Abstract:
An electron gun for emitting a modulated electron beam. The gun includes an evacuated envelope having an output end with a photocathode positioned in the envelope and responsive to light to emit electrons. An anode is positioned between the photocathode and the output end for accelerating the electrons emitted by the photocathode. The gun further includes a source of potential interconnecting the anode and the photocathode for maintaining the anode electrostatically positive relative to the photocathode. A first laser provides a first laser beam at a first frequency illuminating the photocathode, and a second laser provides a second laser beam at a second frequency illuminating the photocathode at the same time. The first frequency differs from the second frequency by a beat frequency, whereby the photocathode provides the electron beam with the electrons spacially bunched in accordance with the beat frequency. A method of providing a modulated electron beam is also disclosed.
Abstract:
Minature video-type display comprised of an otherwise normal microchannel ate (MCP) image intensifier wafer tube which uses, instead of the normal input faceplate having a uniform photocathode, a video-driven one-dimensional electroluminescent array on the output surface thereof and an orthogonal one-dimensional photocathode array mounted on the inner surface thereof. The fiber optic faceplate contains vacuum feed-throughs for the cathode array elements.
Abstract:
Display device comprising a cathode-luminescent layer, a plurality of electron multiplier elements, and a plurality of individually energisable cathodes. The cathodes are photocathodes and an optical feedback path is provided between said luminescent layer and said photo-cathodes through said electron multiplier elements.
Abstract:
An electron gun comprises a photoemissive source, which is excited by a source of light such as a pulsed laser. This electron emission is amplified by a secondary emission multiplication system comprising a plurality of AC or DC biased dynodes. In the former case the gun envelope forms a resonator cavity.
