Lasers convert electrical energy into light energy using a process called stimulated emission. High voltage electrical energy is used to energize a lasing gas mixture inside a resonator cavity. When the grid signal allows the electricity to pass through the electrodes, the gas becomes ionized and produces a controlled laser beam through optics. The RF tube, a triode oscillator, cycles the high voltage on and off using pulse width modulation to control the laser output power level.

Gold Foil Experiment Ernest RUtherford Saeram Butt
Rutherford and his colleagues conducted a gold foil experiment to test J.J. Thomson's "plum pudding" model of the atom. They bombarded a thin gold foil with alpha particles and observed that most passed through undeflected, while a small percentage were deflected or bounced straight back. This contradicted Thomson's model, where particles should experience only slight deflections, and instead supported the idea that atoms have a small, dense nucleus containing their positive charge. The experiment established Rutherford as the "father of nuclear physics" and led to the modern understanding of atomic structure.

Any analog signal can be modulated by PWM. By cycling a digital signal off and on at a fast enough
rate, and with a certain duty cycle, the output will appear to behave like a constant voltage analog

The grid signal uses the pulse width modulation(PWM) technique for controlling the output of the RF
tube. PWM is a way of digitally encoding analog signal levels. The digital signal at any instant of time
is either fully on or fully off. The current is supplied to the RF tube by means of a repeating series of
on and off pulses. Any analog value can be encoded using PWM.

10. When Benjamin Franklin made his speculation regarding the direction of charge flow (from the smooth wax to the
rough wool), he set a standard for electrical notation that exists to this day, despite the fact that we know electrons
are the basic units of charge, and that they are displaced from the wool to the wax -- not from the wax to the wool --
when those two substances are rubbed together. This is why electrons are said to have a negative charge: because
Franklin assumed electric charge moved in the opposite direction that it actually does, and so objects he called
"negative" (representing a deficiency of charge) actually have a surplus of electrons.
By the time the true direction of electron flow was discovered, the nomenclature of "positive" and "negative" had
already been so well established in the scientific community that no effort was made to change it, although calling
electrons "positive" would make more sense in referring to "excess" charge. The terms "positive" and "negative" are
human inventions, and as such have no absolute meaning beyond our own conventions of language and scientific
description. Franklin could have just as easily referred to a surplus of charge as "black" and a deficiency as "white,"
in which case scientists would speak of electrons having a "white" charge (assuming the same incorrect conjecture
of charge position between wax and wool)
.
However, because we tend to associate the word "positive" with "surplus" and "negative" with "deficiency," the
standard label for electron charge does seem backward. Because of this, many engineers decided to retain the old
concept of electricity with "positive" referring to a surplus of charge, and label charge flow (current) accordingly. This
became known as conventional flow notation:

Conventional Current Flow vs. Electron Flow
11. ELECTRON FLOW
NOTATION
Others chose to designate charge flow according to the actual motion of electrons in a circuit, from negative to
positive. This form of symbology became known as electron flow notation:
Using the electron flow convention will help in the understanding of how the RF tube operates.
When current is flowing in a wire, what is actually moving is the electrons. Electrons have negative charges.
Negative charge is usually shown in black, so in this illustration electrons are represented as little white minus signs
in little black circles. When they have the chance, electrons generally move from areas that are crowded with
electrons (negative charge) to areas that don't have as many electrons (positive charge).
Conventional Current Flow vs. Electron Flow
12. There really is something that moves from positive to negative while the electrons are moving the other way.
The hole that the electron leaves behind as it moves toward the positive charge can be thought of as moving
toward the negative charge.
The large circles in the illustration below represent atoms, with positive charges in the middle and negative
electrons around the outside. When the electron is in the atom, the whole thing is neutral (green) because the
positive and negative parts balance out. When the electron leaves, the remaining atom is positive (red). The hole is
wherever you see a red atom, which is missing its outermost electron. (All the other electrons are in that middle
circle with the protons, but we aren't interested in them right now.) As the electrons move one way, from negative to
positive, the holes move the other way, from positive to negative.
You can think about current as the flow of electrons, which go from negative to positive, or as the flow of holes,
which go the other way. If you are working with semi-conductor theory it makes a difference which one you use, but
otherwise you aren't likely to care. We usually use hole flow because the direction agrees with the decision that the
early scientists, like Ben Franklin made when they had to pick a direction to use in their calculations. It's traditional.

13. Remember; LIKE charges REPEL each other while OPPOSITE charges ATTRACT each other.

Anode (Plate)
Cathode
A diode style tube consists of a positively charged plate, the anode and the negatively charged
cathode. These components are mounted inside a vacuum vessel, or tube.

As the anode begins to be positively charged, the negatively charged electrons are attracted to it.

The RF tube used in the Rofin laser is a triode style unit where the heater and cathode are combined.
This component is referred to as the filament.

As we know, the negatively charged electrons from the cathode are attracted to the positively
charged anode. If the grid is held at a negative potential then there will be no attractive forces and,
subsequently, no electron flow to the anode.
