Abstract

Conventional beam blanking system generate electron pulses having a minimum width of about 100 through 200 ps. Although a reduction of the pulse width to a few tens of picoseconds is fundamentally possible, the reduction of the probe current accompanying this would result to a considerable lengthening of the measuring times. In the invention a photo-cathode (PK) is charged by a pulsed laser beam (LA) which is attached to the column of an electron beam measuring instrument and the photo-electron source is stigmatically imaged onto the beam axis (OA1) using a focusing deflection unit (SFM). A sector field magnet is used as a focusing deflection unit (SFM).
