Abstract

The performance of large aperture excimer discharge pumped lasers depends strongly on the pulse power scheme used. For relatively low repetition rate applications (≤1 Hz) pulse forming networks using either rail gap switches or magnetic pulse sharpening can be employed. Rail gap switched pulse power circuits have the advantage of low inductance and hence fast rise time while magnetic switched circuits are traditionally superior in terms of lifetime and reliability.
