  • the present invention provides an electron gun in which a narrow and intense electron beam is generated from a relatively large areagand relatively low emission density source by focused and intensity modulated transmission through a defining aperture which forms a virtual cathode.
  • the electron supply to the defining aperture is in the form of a'collimated beam of electrons derived from -a cathode having an emission area;substantially larger than the defining aperture.
  • Between the source of the collimated relatively large-area beam and the definingaperture is provided means for both focusing the of certain characteristics of the apinvention will apparent from the following description and the accompany 2 beam at the aperture and modulating its intensity.

  • hyperbolic electrostatic lens which focuses by continuous deceleration, andisso constituted as to project the beam crossover through anannular intensitycontrol or gate electrode into the defining aperture. Further according to the invention, this focusing of the beam crossover at the defining aperture is made to occur at substantially the same modulation-voltage as that providing maximum current transfer through the intensity control or gate elec trode. As a result of such coincidence, smooth intensity modulation of the beam at the output side of the defining aperture from a high intensity to substantially complete cutoff is obtainable from small magnitude modulating signals of the order of a few volts, and with desirably high transconductance.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown in schematic form a hyperbolic lens system of symmetrical form which is instructive in understanding certain aspects of the present invention.
  • the confronting surfaces of electrodes 2 and t constitute surfaces having the shape of biparted hyperboloids coaxial with reference axis Z and having a common asymptote indicated by the dotted lines: 5 which is a double cone coaxial with axis Z and having an apex angle of about 10$".
  • Midway or symmetrically disposed between electrodes 2 and 4 is an annular gate electrode 6, the inner surface of which is an imparted hyperboloid of revolution about axis Z coasymptotic with electrodes 2 and 4.
  • the potential V of electrode 2 equals the potential V of electrode 4, and this condition, together with the lesser potential V and symmetrical position of electrode 6 enables the three electrodes to form a symmetrical non-accelerating hyperbolic lens whose electro static field is characterized by equipotential surfaces which are families of hyperboloids coasymptotic withthe double cone 5.
  • the apex of the asymptotic cone 5 of the lens denotes the location of what is hereinafter referred to as the saddle po' or gate of the lens.
  • the spacing 2,, of the saddle point of the lens from electrode 2' is, in the lens shown in FIG. 1, L/2.
  • a small coaxial aperture 8 is provided in electrode 4 to serve as a defining aperture for electron output from the lens, and electrons are admitted to the lens through an opening 9 in electrode 2 in the form of a beam of area large relative to the area of aperture 8. Collimation of the beam forfpassage through the opening 9 is conveniently. effected by an apertured collimating electrode 10 spacedjn frontof the axially disposed large area cathode 12.

  • Point 17 in FIG. 2 denotes the current cut-off condition
  • point 18 on curve 15 denotes the open-gate potential of gate electrode 6 at which full transfer of current through the central opening in electrode 6 occurs. It will be evident from curve .15 of FIG. 2. that the modulationpotential for open gate operation is greatly different from that for optimum focus or current transfer through aperture 8, and hence the symmetrical hyperbolic lens of FIG. 1 leaves much to be desired as a device for efficiently generating a modulated electron beam at aperture 8.
  • Hyberbolic lens fields can also be developed when electrodes of the type shown in FIG. 1 are disposed in nonsymmetrical fashion, provided the ratio, P, of V to V is properly related to Z, to L.

  • Electrode 28 also has a surface 42 which is a cone of 109' apex angle coaxial with the Z axis and substantially back-to-back with surface 40.
  • the surface 48 of the anode 24 facing the gate electrode 26 corresponds theoretically to a hyperboloid coasymptotic with the surface 40; but may be for convenience an approximation of such theoretical surface, such as a parti-spherical surface, as shown in the drawing, of radius about twice the axial spacing of the anode 24fromthelimitingaperture 46.

  • the virtual cathode at aperture 46 draws electrons from a cathode 20 which is relatively large compared to the size of aperture 46, the virtual cathode has a potential peak emission density many times that of cathode 20, and peak emission densities corresponding to approximately 10 amperes' per square centimeter, on the equivalent spherical diode basis, have been obtained in such structures actually built and tested.
