摘要: A discharge device for operation in a gas at prescribed pressure includes cathode having plurality of micro hollows therein, and an anode spaced from the cathode. Each has dimensions selected to produce hollow pressure. Preferably, each cross-sectional dimension that is on order mean free path electrons gas. Electrical energy coupled voltage current producing discharges The may include chamber maintaining dielectric layer be disposed when spacing between greater than about Applications fluorescent lamps, excimer flat light sources, miniature lasers, electron sources ion sources.
