Ultraviolet (UV) light emitting device (LED) driven photocathode
Abstract
An apparatus includes an electromechanical x-ray generator (MEXRAY) configured to charged capacitors using a small, high-voltage direct current. The apparatus also includes an ultraviolet (UV) light emitting diode (LED) driven photocathode device configured to control/modulate an electron dose rate of the MEXRAY or other vacuum DC, source.
