Abstract

These electron beam separator designs address thermally-induced beam drift in an electron-optical system. A heater coil wrapped around the beam separator unit can maintain constant power. Additional coils also can be wrapped around the beam separator in a bifilar manner, which can maintain constant power in the beam separator coils. Wien power can be determined, and then heater coil current can be determined.
