Title: Computational model of a magnetic modulator for copper lasers

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10182822

A numerical model of a three-stage magnetic modulator for copper lasers is described. The model follows in detail the hysteresis behavior of the magnetic switches and a transformer. The laser is treated via a simple model of field diffusion. The calculated voltage across the laser and current through the laser are shown to compare favorably with experiment.
