The invention relates to a
cold cathode electronic gun used in cooperation with a vacuum
radiation source device. The
cold cathode electronic gun comprises an electronic gun shell and a base of the electronic gun shell. The
cold cathode electronic gun is provided with an upper
electrode plate with array-type
electron beam output holes, a lower
electrode plate and a cold
cathode, and further provided with a
microwave input layer which is provided with an interaction cavity and arranged between the upper
electrode plate and the lower electrode plate. Due to the fact that the
microwave input layer is additionally arranged between the upper electrode plate and the lower electrode plate of a traditional cold
cathode electronic gun, a cavity formed above the cold
cathode in the middle section of the
microwave input layer is used as the interaction cavity, the cold cathode is embedded in the bottom of the interaction cavity, the array-type
electron beam output holes which are smaller than the microwave length in size are formed in the position, right opposite to the interaction cavity, of the upper electrode plate, and therefore the cold cathode electronic gun has the advantages of being small in space of the
beam wave interaction cavity, low in
power consumption, capable of being integrated, small in size, high in response speed and capable of feeding in microwaves with different frequencies as needed to modulate the current transmitted by the cold cathode so as to generate
electron beams with different frequencies and strengths, providing an electron transmitting source for the mini-type electron vacuum device, effectively expanding the application range and the like.
