PULSED ION SOURCE
Abstract
A source is presented for producing high intensity pulses of ions with precise time control of pulse initiation. The approach taken is to have one of the electrodes in the source occluded with the gas to be ionized. A trigger electrode is disposed adjacent to the gas filled electrode and is pulsed with a voltage to release the gas. The other structure of the source includes an apertured anode disposed between two cathodes, the gas filled electrode and another electrode. At the same time the gas is released a low voltage pulse is applied between the anode and cathodes to establish an ionizing arc discharge. An electrode adjacent to the arc withdraws the ions.
