ABSTRACT:
A novel excitation scheme has been developed for discharge lasers. The technique uses an auxiliary circuit based upon pulse transformer technology to induce a fast, high voltage pulse directly onto a ground potential laser electrode resulting in the breakdown of the laser gas mix. Saturation of the pulse transformer core inductance then permits the efficient "switching" of the main energy storage circuit into the discharge.
