Past, Present and Future of Vacuum Electronics Georg Gaertner

摘要：

For 150 years Vacuum Electronics (VE) have been the motor of technical innovation in several important application areas. They have enabled a lot of basic inventions and have dominated development and industrial growth in their application areas over more than a century. First a description of the development of vacuum tubes with special emphasis on the electron sources from the early days to the modern state of the art 1,2,3 is given. Changing application scopes from radio transmission, microwave generation, X-ray tubes, display tubes, gas lasers, gas discharge lamps and particle accelerators are addressed. Prospects for the future of standard technology are outlined: e.g. high power vacuum electronics (microwave gyrotrons), space applications of VE (long-lived microwave tubes, ion thrusters), thermionic energy converters, e-beam lithography or vacuum based high resolution characterization.
