Title: Innovations of Richard G Schulze

Introduction

Richard G Schulze is a notable inventor based in Hopkins, MN (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of optical technology, holding a total of 5 patents. His work primarily focuses on developing advanced optical sources and photocathodes.

Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is for a pulsed optical source. This invention is a compact pulsed optical source of near to ultraviolet wavelength energy, designed to connect to an external power source. The optical source includes a device for emitting photons, apparatus for transforming photons into photoelectrons, apparatus for multiplying the photoelectrons, a lens, a phosphor-coated anode, and circuit apparatus for providing a pulsed electric signal. The emitting device impinges photons on the photon transforming apparatus, which accelerates electrons to the multiplying apparatus as pulses are received from the circuit apparatus. With each pulse, a cloud of electrons is emitted from the multiplying apparatus, exciting the phosphor-coated anode and causing optical emission.

Another significant patent is for a UV photocathode using the negative electron affinity effect in Al.sub.x. This invention features a high-efficiency UV responsive negative electron affinity photocathode with a long wavelength cutoff tunable over the range of approximately 200 to 300 nm, based on Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x N. The photocathodes are designed for sharply enhanced photoemission yield by applying a layer of cesium to the surface of Al.sub.x Ga.sub.1-x N, ensuring the Fermi energy level is appropriately positioned.
