Abstract
An ionisation device was developed and tested as part of a supersonic electron-beam-sustained cw laser. This device was a wide-aperture elec tron accelerator with extended but discrete thermionic emitters. The d ensity of the current extracted from this accelerator was up to 75 mu A/cm(2). Experimental and theoretical investigations were made of the characteristics and of the thermal conditions of the operation of this ionisation device.
