Plasma switch with hollow, thermionic cathode |
| abstract |
A hollow cathode (16) capable of self-heating by back ion bombardment to a thermionic emission temperature axially discharges therefrom an ionized plasma (26) of an ambient gas (14) such as xenon. Electrons are axially or radially extractÂable from the plasma (26) by an anode (18). A voltage is applied to a keeper electrode (20) disposed between the cathode (16) and anode (18) to sustain plasma (26) discharge of the gas (14) between the cathode (16) and keeper electrode (20). A control electrode (22) is disposed between the keeper electrode (20) and the anode (18). Application of a positive voltage (relative to the cathode) to the control electrode (22) causes the plasma (26) discharge to extend from the cathode (16) to the anode (18), thus closing the switch. Application of a negative control electrode (22) voltage, or simply returnÂing the control electrode (22) to cathode (16) potential, causes the plasma (26) discharge to retract back to the area of the keeper electrode (20), thereby opening the switch. |
