Abstract
An electronic transmitter or receiver employing electromagnetic radiation as a coded signal carrier is described. In the transmitter, the electromagnetic radiation is emitted from ultra-small resonant structures when an electron beam passes proximate the structures. In the receiver, the electron beam passes near ultra-small resonant structures and is altered in path or velocity by the effect of the electromagnetic radiation on structures. The electron beam is accelerated to an appropriate current density without the use of a high power supply. Instead, a sequence of low power levels is supplied to a sequence of anodes in the electron beam path. The electron beam is thereby accelerated to a desired current density appropriate for the transmitter or receiver application without the need for a high- level power source.

FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE
[0003] This relates in general to electron accelerators for resonant structures.
INTRODUCTION
[0004] We have previously described in the related applications identified above a number of different inventions involving novel ultra-small resonant structures and methods of making and utilizing them. In essence, the ultra-small resonant structures emit electromagnetic radiation at frequencies (including but not limited to visible light frequencies) not previously obtainable with characteristic structures nor by the operational principles described. In some of
those applications of these ultra-small resonant structures, we identify electron beam induced resonance. In such embodiments, the electron beam passes proximate to an ultra-small resonant structure — sometimes a resonant cavity — causing the resonant structure to emit electromagnetic radiation; or in the reverse, incident electromagnetic radiation proximate the resonant structure causes physical effects on the proximate electron beam. As used herein, an ultra-small resonant structure can be any structure with a physical dimension less than the wavelength of microwave radiation, which (1) emits radiation (in the case of a transmitter) at a microwave frequency or higher when operationally coupled to a charge particle source or (2) resonates (in the case of a detector/receiver) in the presence of electromagnetic radiation at microwave frequencies or higher.
[0005] Thus, the resonant structures in some embodiments depend upon a coupled, proximate electron beam. We also have identified that the charge density and velocity of the electron beam can have some effects on the response returned by the resonant structure. For example, in some cases, the properties of the electron beam may affect the intensity of electromagnetic radiation. In other cases, it may affect the frequency of the emission.
[0006] As a general matter, electron beam accelerators are not new, but they are new in the context of the affect that beam acceleration can have on novel ultra- small resonant structures. By controlling the electron beam velocity, valuable characteristics of the ultra-small resonant structures can be accommodated.
[0007] Also, we have previously described in the related cases how the ultra-small resonant structures can be accommodated on integrated chips. One unfortunate side effect of such a placement can be the location of a relatively high- powered cathode on or near the integrated chip. For example, in some instances, a power source of 100s or 1000s eV will produce desirable resonance effects on the chip (such applications may — but need not — include intra-chip communications, inter-chip communications, visible light emission, other frequency emission,
electromagnetic resonance detection, display operation, etc.) Putting such a power source on-chip is disadvantageous from the standpoint of its potential affect on the other chip components although it is highly advantageous for operation of the ultra-small resonant structures.
[0008] We have developed a system that allows the electrons to gain the benefit usually derived from high-powered electron sources, without actually placing a high-powered electron source on-chip.

THE PRESENTLY PREFERRED EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS
[0013] Transmitter 10 includes ultra-small resonant structures 12 that emit encoded light 15 when an electron beam 11 passes proximate to them. Such ultra- small resonant structures can be one or more of those described in U.S. Patent Application Nos. 11/238,991; 11/243,476; 11/243,477; 11/325,448; 11/325,432; 11/302,471; 11/325,571; 11/325,534; 11/349,963; and/or 11/353,208 (each of which is identified more particularly above). The resonant structures in the transmitter can be manufactured in accordance with any of U.S. Application Nos. 10/917,511; 11/350,812; or 11/203,407 (each of which is identified more particularly above) or in other ways. Their sizes and dimensions can be selected in accordance with the principles described in those and the other above-identified
applications and, for the sake of brevity, will not be repeated herein. The contents of the applications described above are assumed to be known to the reader.
[0014] The ultra-small resonant structures have one or more physical dimensions that can be smaller than the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation emitted (in the case of Figure 1, encoded light 15, but in other embodiments, the radiation can have microwave frequencies or higher). The ultra- small resonant structures operate under vacuum conditions. In such an environment, as the electron beam 11 passes proximate the resonant structures 12, it causes the resonant structures to resonate and emit the desired encoded light 15. The light 15 is encoded by the electron beam 11 via operation of the cathode 13 by the power switch 17 and data encoder 14.
[0015] In a simple case, the encoded light 15 can be encoded by the data encoder 14 by simple ON/OFF pulsing of the electron beam 11 by the cathode 13. In more sophisticated scenarios, the electron density may be employed to encode the light 15 by the data encoder 14 through controlled operation of the cathode 13.
[0016] In the transmitter 10, if an electron acceleration level normally developed under a 400OeV power source (a number chosen solely for illustration, and could be any energy level whatsoever desired) is desired, the respective anodes connected to the Power Switch 17 at Positions A-H will each have a potential relative to the cathode of 1/n times the desired power level, where n is the number of anodes in the series. Any number of anodes can be used. In the case of Figure 1, eight anodes are present. In the example identified above, the potential between each anode and the cathode 13 is 4000V/8=500V per anode.
[0017] The Power switch 13 then requires only a 500V potential relative to ground because each anode only requires 500V, which is vastly an advantageously lower potential on the chip than 4000V.
[0018] In the system without multiple anodes, a 500V potential on a single anode will not accelerate the electron beam 11 at nearly the same level as provided
by the 4000V source. But, the system of Figure 1 obtains the same level of acceleration as the 4000V using multiple anodes and careful selection of the anodes at the much lower 500V voltage. In operation, the anodes at Positions A-H turn off as the electron beam passes by, causing the electron beam to accelerate toward the next sequential anode. As shown in the timing diagram of Figure 2, the power switch 17 controls the potential at each anode in Position A through Position H sequentially as the electron beam passes by the respective anodes. In Figure 2, the y-axis represents the ON/OFF potential at the anode and the x-axis represents time. At the start, all of the anodes are in a "don't care" state represented by the hatched lines. "Don't care" means that the anodes can be on, off, or switching without material effect on the system. At a particular time, the Position A anode turns ON, as shown, while the remaining anodes remain in the "don't care" state. The ON state indicates a potential between the anode and the cathode 13, such that the electron beam 11 from the cathode 13 is accelerated toward the anode at Position A. Once the electron beam reaches at or near the anode at Position A, the Position A anode turns OFF, as shown in Figure 2, and the Position B anode turns ON causing the electron beam passing Position A to further accelerate toward Position B. When it reaches at or near Position B5 the Position B anode turns off and the Position C anode turns ON, a shown in Figure 2. The process of turning sequential anodes ON continues, as shown in Figure 2, as the electron beam reaches at or near each sequential anode position.
[0019] After passing Position H in the transmitter 10 of Figure 1 , the electron beam has accelerated to essentially the same level as it would have if only one high voltage anode had been present.
[0020] The anodes in transmitter 10 are turned ON and OFF as the electron beam reaches the respective anodes. One way (although not the only way) that the system can know when the electron beam is approaching the respective anodes is to provide controller 16 to sense when an induced current appears on the
respective anode caused by the approaching electron beam. When the controller 16 senses a current at a particular threshold level in the anode at Position A5 for example, it instructs the power switch 17 to switch the anode at Position A OFF and the anode at Position B ON3 and so on, as shown in Figure 2. The threshold can be chosen to essentially correspond with the approach (or imminent passing) of the electron beam at the particular anode being sensed. The power switch 17 can switch an anode OFF when the threshold is reached under the assumption that the electron beam has sufficiently accelerated to that anode and can now best be further accelerated by attraction to the next sequential anode.
[0021] After the electron beam has accelerated to each sequential anode 10, the accelerated electron beam 11 can then pass the resonant structures 12, causing them to emit the electromagnetic radiation encoded by the data encoder 14. The resonant structures 12/24 are shown generically and on only one side, but they may be any of the ultra-small resonant structure forms described in the above- identified applications and can be on both sides of the electron beam. Collector 18 can receive the electron beam and either use the power associated with it for on- chip power or take it to ground.
[0022] In the transmitter of Figure 1, each anode is turned ON for the same length of time. Because the electron beam 11 is accelerating as it passes the respective anodes, the anodes 19 are spaced increasingly further apart only the path of the electron beam so the evenly timed ON states will coincide with the arriving electron beam. As can now be understood from that description, the distance between the anodes and the timing of the ON pulses can be varied. Thus, the Receiver 20 in Figure 1 has a set of anodes 27 that are evenly spaced. In that embodiment, as the electron beam 25 from cathode 23 accelerates, the ON states of the anodes 27 controlled by controller 21 and invoked by power switch 22 at the Positions A-H will shorten as the electron beam approaches the resonant structures 24 (i.e., as the electron beam continues to accelerate). Figure 3 shows
an example timing diagram for the anode switching in the receiver 20 of Figure 1. As in Figure 2, the y-axis represents the ON/OFF state (hatched sections represent "don't care") and the x-axis represents time.
[0023] In Figure 3, as the electron beam starts out from cathode 23, it will take more time to reach the anode at Position A and thus the ON state is relatively long. As the electron beam accelerates to Position H, it has substantially increased its velocity such that the ON state for the anode at Position H is relatively short.
[0024] Other alternatives systems that incorporate different spacing aspects for the anodes and corresponding different timing aspects will now be apparent to the artisan after reviewing Figures 2 and 3. That is, various hybrids between the systems of Figures 2 and 3 can be envisioned.
[0025] To complete the description of the operation of Figure 1, in the receiver 20, the electron beam passes the resonant structures 24, which have received the encoded light 15. The effect of the encoded light 15 on the resonant structures 24 causes the electron beam 25 to bend, which is detected by detector 26. In that way, the encoded data in the encoded light 15 is demodulated by detector 26.
[0026] To facilitate the acceleration of the electrons between the anodes 19, the electron beam should preferably be pulsed. In that way, one electron pulse can be accelerated to, sequentially, the first, second, third, etc. anodes (Positions A, B, C, etc) before the next pulse of electrons begins. The number of anodes that an earlier pulse of electrons must reach before a next pulse can start will, of course, depend on the influence that the re-energized earlier anodes have on the since- departed electron group. It is advantageous that the re-energizing of the anode at Position A, for example, as a subsequent electron pulse approaches it does not materially slow the earlier electron pulse that is at a later position in the anode stream.
[0027] Figure 4 illustrates an alternative structure for the accelerator 40 that
could substitute for the anodes 19 or the anodes 27. In Figure 4, a cyclotron is shown in which the cathode 42 emits electrons into a spiral. A magnetic field in a line perpendicular to the plane of Figure 4, combined with an alternative RF field provided by RF source 45 and electrodes 43 and 44, causes the electron beam from the cathode 42 to accelerate around the spiral. That is, if the polarity transitions between the electrodes 43 and 44 are evenly timed by source 45, then the electrons traveling around each consecutive "ring" of the spiral will travel a longer distance in the same amount of time (hence, their acceleration). When the electrons leave the spiral at position 46, they have accelerated substantially even using a relatively low power source.
[0028] The magnetic field in Figure 4 may be advantageously shielded from other circuit components (for example, when the transmitter and/or receiver are on physically mounted on an IC having other electric components). With shielding, the influence of the magnetic field can be localized to the accelerator 40 without materially affecting other, unrelated elements.

While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
