DYNAMIC MULTI-WAVELENGTH AND SAMPLE VOLTAGE ATOM PROBE TOMOGRAPH FEEDBACK CONTROL SYSTEM
A dynamic multi-wavelength and sample voltage atom probe tomograph feedback control system includes a pulsed radiation source, an ion detector, a high voltage supply, and an analyzer. The pulsed radiation source produces first coherent light and second coherent light. The ion detector receives first emitted ions and second emitted ions from the atom probe sample. The high voltage supply produces a high voltage bias. The analyzer receives the ion signal from the ion detector and dynamically produces first pulsed radiation source control signal, second pulsed radiation source control signal, and high voltage bias control based on the ion signal. The system dynamically adjusts the optical wavelengths and sample voltage in real-time with atom probe tomography feedback by using the ion signal from the ion detector to dynamically produce first pulsed radiation source control signal, second pulsed radiation source control signal, and high voltage bias control.
