ABSTRACT:
A spark source circuit has a discharge circuit including reactive means connected in circuit between a capacitor and an analytical spark gap and switching means for effectively removing the capacitor from the discharge circuit after an initial flow of current through the spark gap so that the current flow through the spark gap is essentially unidirectional. At the start of the capacitor discharge, the discharge circuit is essentially of the classical RLC oscillatory discharge type; and the switching action converts the discharge circuit to essentially a classical RL discharge type circuit for the remainder of the spark discharge. The circuit is simple and efficient, permits use of ceramic capacitors, and may be housed in a sealed enclosure.
