This book summarizes the findings of research on the physical and technical characteristics of pulsed discharges in gases and on the implementation of such discharges in pulsed light sources. Gas-discharge flashlamps are described. Topics considered include the electrical breakdown of gas at nearatmospheric pressures, high-current pulsed discharge with an expanding channel, pulsed discharge of the quasi-stationary type, phenomena at electrodes, the radiation characteristics of flashlamps, the load characteristics of flashlamps, the operating characteristics of flashlamps, the industrial production of flashlamps, circuit diagrams of flashlamps and the main circuit elements, and the interaction of radiation pulses with detectors. This book is necessary because the correct use of existing types of flashlamps, work toward developing new types of flashlamps, and the solution of new problems by using such flashlamps require a knowledge of the physical processes that occur in them and the relationship between their technical characteristics and their design data and power-supply parameters.
