Pulsed power systems for the LASL High Energy Gas Laser Facility
Conference
·
OSTI ID:7234399
The laser division at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory is designing a CO/sub 2/ laser fusion experiment with the goal of delivering 100 kJ to the target in a one nanosecond pulse. The laser will be pumped by an electron beam-controlled discharge. The pumping power supply will be a number of parallel Marx generators, with an output voltage of 500 kV, and a total energy storage of about 5 MJ. The electron gun is a ''cold cathode'' triode, also operating at about 500 kV. Preliminary design considerations for the pulsed power systems are presented. Some pulse forming network designs are discussed with calculated waveforms shown.
