Abstract
An optical generator of an electrostatic field at light frequencies tuneable over the entire band of visible light frequencies including a pair of spaced electrodes in a gas filled tube having at least one absolute condenser plate adjacent one electrode, a dielectric-filled container enclosing the tube, and a resonant circuit operable to generate electric light of a selected frequency.
Claims4
A tuned optical generator of an electrostatic field at light frequencies in electrical circuitry, said generator comprising:
- a gaseous discharge tube including at least two spaced electrodes, an enclosing light-permeable envelope and an ionizable gas contained therein;
- at least one absolute condenser plate adjacently spaced from one of said electrodes;
- an electrically conductive casing surrounding said tube;
- a dielectric between said tube and said casing;
- and
- means electrically connected between at least one of said electrodes of said gaseous discharge tube and one of said adjacent condenser plate for passing electrostatic oscillations of predetermined light frequency.
