More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The Laser Isotope Separation Program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is aggressively developing Copper Vapor Laser’s (CVL’s) for use as dye laser exciters. These CVL’s require high voltage (10 kilovolts), high peak current (1200 amps}, and operate at high repetition rates (up to 12 kilohertz) with fast current risetimes (50 nanoseconds). Thyratrons are typically used to provide the required pulsed energy to the lasers. Three to five inch ceramic thyratrons, such as EG&Gs’ HY-1802 or ITTs’ F-117, are now used depending upon the application. To trigger these thyratrons a low jitter, reliable and compact-pulser was developed by the laboratory
