Abstract

This paper describes a low voltage, room temperature electron emitter that is based on the AlGaN UV opto-electronic cathode. It consists of an ultraviolet light emitting diode (UV LED) in direct contact with a photoemitter. Presented are the results of the UV LED fabrication showing band-edge emission at 380 nm and the results of experiments on UV emission from thin e-beam evaporated LaB6 and CeB6 films which are the components required for the fabrication of the cold-cathode. Relevant results from Monte Carlo simulations of transport through LaB6 are discussed.
