In the Normal Glow Discharge region, the cathode becomes covered by a
glow which is characteristic of th gas in the tube. This glow is
commonly seen in neon indicator and decorative lamps; in the decorative
lamps the current is limited so the glow does not cover the cathode and
it flickers unstably.
When the current is allowed to increase, the glow covers the cathode,
and then has nowhere to go. The voltage increases rapidly and the pinch
effect begins to concentrate the ion flow to a smaller region. What
usually happens is the ion bombardment causes local thermionic heating
of the cathode, releasing a flood of electrons and the glow collapses
into the vacuum arc discharge region. This is seen in fluorescent
lamps, advertising signs, and high intensity flood lamps.
The Correa's patents show how to avoid the arc discharge and operate in
the Abnormal Glow Discharge region, with currents in the range of 0.1-
10 amps. It is in the region form F to E that the Correa's discovered
the energy burst which is the foundatin of their invention. With proper
construction and operating conditions, the energy bursts are repetative
and self-extinguishing and the reactor is quiescent between bursts.
This is the Pulsed Abnormal Glow Discharge or PAGD.
