Long pulse, high-current electron gun for e-beam sustained excimer lasers

Journal Article · · IEEE J. Quant. Electron.; (United States)
A new kind of electron gun is described which has produced 5-..mu..s e-beams at 130 keV and 2 A/cm/sup 2/. Scaling estimates are presented which predict that this gun could operate at 400 keV and 10 A/cm/sup 2/, beam parameters suitable for pumping excimer laser systems. For this application the gun has the advantages that the e-beam is nearly monoenergetic and the pulse widths longer than that possible with other presently used e-guns.
