Title: Miguel Gonzalez and Plasmonic Photocathode Innovation.

Introduction

Miguel Gonzalez is an inventor based in Livermore, California, and is associated with KLA Corporation. His patent work focuses on plasmonic photocathode emitters designed to generate electron beams using light.

Latest Patents

Gonzalez’s two listed patents address plasmonic structures integrated into photocathode emitters. The designs combine a transparent substrate, a photocathode layer, and an array of plasmonic structures positioned between them.

“Plasmonic photocathode emitters at ultraviolet and visible wavelengths” describes a structure that can confine incident light to subwavelength-sized spots. The plasmonic array can also serve as an electrical underlayer for biasing the photocathode.

“Plasmonic photocathode emitters” describes an array configured to operate at wavelengths from 193 to 430 nanometers and notes that the array can be made of aluminum. Light directed at the array can generate an electron beam. Gonzalez is credited with 2 patents.
