    Abstract: An electron microscope is disclosed which has a laser-driven photocathode and an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) laser system (“laser”). The laser produces a train of temporally-shaped laser pulses of a predefined pulse duration and waveform, and directs the laser pulses to the laser-driven photocathode to produce a train of electron pulses. An image sensor is used along with a deflector subsystem. The deflector subsystem is arranged downstream of the target but upstream of the image sensor, and has two pairs of plates arranged perpendicular to one another. A control system controls the laser and a plurality of switching components synchronized with the laser, to independently control excitation of each one of the deflector plates. This allows each electron pulse to be directed to a different portion of the image sensor, as well as to be provided with an independently set duration and independently set inter-pulse spacings.

    Abstract: An electron beam source comprises a source surface illuminated with a photon beam of adjustable intensity. The photon beam assists emission of electrons from the source surface due to a photo effect. An electric extraction field further assists in electron emission. Further, a heater is provided for further assisting in electron emission by a thermionic effect. An electron beam current is measured, and the intensity of the photon beam is adjusted based on the measured electron beam current.

    Abstract: An electron gun includes a plate-like main cathode 77 having an electron emitting surface 79 and a sub-cathode 81 provided toward the rear surface of the main cathode to heat the main cathode 77 by imparting an electron bombardment. The sub-cathode 81 is constituted of filaments 83 and 85 coiled in a double helix structure and the diameter of the sub-cathode 81 is larger than the diameter of the main cathode 77. As a result, the temperature at the peripheral area of the electron emitting surface 79 can be set higher than the temperature at the center, to achieve an electron beam with a uniform intensity distribution.
