A vacuum encapsulated, hermetically sealed cathode capsule for generating an electron beam of secondary electrons, which generally includes a cathode element having a primary emission surface adapted to emit primary electrons, an annular insulating spacer, a diamond window element comprising a diamond material and having a secondary emission surface adapted to emit secondary electrons in response to primary electrons impinging on the diamond window element, a first cold-weld ring disposed between the cathode element and the annular insulating spacer and a second cold-weld ring disposed between the annular insulating spacer and the diamond window element. The cathode capsule is formed by a vacuum cold-weld process such that the first cold-weld ring forms a hermetical seal between the cathode element and the annular insulating spacer and the second cold-weld ring forms a hermetical seal between the annular spacer and the diamond window element whereby a vacuum encapsulated chamber is formed within the capsule.

The present invention provides an enhanced THz electromagnetic source structure achieving a very high aspect ratio of 500 to 1 of electron beam width to electron beam thickness of the electron beam moving in the direction across the grating structure while maintaining its cross-section. The structure comprises a magnetic circuit providing a unique low magnetic field slot placed in a steel core for the placement of an electron gun, thus allowing the electron beam to be focused without the interaction of a magnetic field while still supporting a high magnetic field in the grating region. Additionally, the structure comprises an electrostatic shield preventing potential difference between the anode voltage and the grounded steel core from affecting the focusing of the electron beam.

The invention relates to a device (1) for producing high frequency microwaves comprising a cathode arrangement with heatable cathodes (15) for emitting electrons, two grid arrangements for controlling and focusing fluxes of electrons and an anode (3) for receiving the electrons flowing through the grid arrangements. The cathode arrangement and the first grid arrangement, in addition to a locking element or a throttle element (16), define an input cavity (12) forming a resonant cavity. The anode (3) and the second grid arrangement define an output cavity also forming a resonant cavity. Said cathode arrangement comprises a mounting for the cathode (15) such that a deformation of the cathode (15) is avoided by reducing the distance between the heatable cathode and the grids (18).

The vanes are disposed in the positive polar cylinder to constitute a positive polar section. The filament is disposed on an axis of the positive polar cylinder to define an activating space. The upper and lower shields cover a top and bottom of the filament, respectively. The upper and lower pole pieces are disposed to induce magnetic flux into the activating space. The upper shield preferably has a diameter ranging from 6.95 mm to 7.10 mm. Additionally, the lower shield preferably has a diameter ranging from 6.95 mm to 7.10 mm.

An improved gridded microwave tube is provided, the tube containing a cold cathode, an anode, and a grid located between the anode and cathode. In one embodiment, the cold cathode has a refractory metal substrate and carbon nanotube emitters, the emitters having a diameter of 1 to 300 nm and a length of 0.05 to 100 &mgr;m. The grid-cathode spacing is 1 to 100 &mgr;m, the grid contains apertures having a maximum dimension of 0.5 to 100 &mgr;m, and the grid thickness is 0.5 to 100 &mgr;m. Emission from the cathode directly onto the grid material itself, which undesirably heats the grid, is reduced by either (a) the presence of a shadow mask between the grid and the emitters or (b) selective formation of the emitters in locations that correspond to the grid apertures. The microwave tube operates at a frequency of greater than 0.5 GHz, advantageously greater than 2 GHz.

An improved process for fabricating nanotube field emitter structures is provided, in which the nanotubes protrude from a supporting base material to improve emission properties. The resulting emitter structure are useful in a variety of devices, including microwave vacuum tube devices and flat-panel, field-emission displays. To attain the protruding nanotube emitter structure, according to one embodiment of the invention, nanotubes and metal particles are mixed and consolidated into a compact, and the compact is then sectioned to expose a substantial number of nanotube ends. A layer of the metal is selectively etched from the sectioned surface, leaving the exposed nanotubes protruding from the surface. The extent of protrusion is at least twice the average diameter of the nanotubes, advantageously at least ten times the average diameter of the nanotubes.

An electron gun comprises a cathode made of an emissive material with an active face emitting electrons through a control grid that is placed before the active face but has no contact with it. The active face has emissive zones and non-emissive zones. The non-emissive zones are formed by grooves hollowed out of the emissive material. The control grid has solid parts that directly face the grooves. Application to electron guns with reduced heating of the control grid. FIG. 5 .
