Excitation circuit for a te high-energy laser system

Abstract From the Canadian patent

of the Invention:, An excitation circuit for a TE high-energy laser system includes at least one high-speed,high-voltage switch activatable for energizing a pulse-generating network to generate high-voltage pulses at a pair of laser electrodes; the pulse generating network having first and second stripline capacitors associated with the high-voltage switch and the laser chamber and with appertaining equivalent inductances of the excitation circuit formed from selfinductance of the high-voltage switch, the laser chamber leads of the system and the stripline capacitors has at least a third stripline capacitor included in the pulsegenerating network in addition to the first and second …
