This paper describes a laser heated cathode gun design which uses a lanthanum hexaboride button in a diode configuration. Beam currents up to 40 mA at – 60 kV were generated by using laser powers in the range of 19 to 83 ...
Electron beams are used in many different industrial, medical and scientific applications. Each area has many specific requirements that can only be met with bespoke gun designs producing beams with the required intensity, ...
