ABSTRACT:
A high voltage power supply for energizing a gas discharge laser in either an enhanced pulse mode or a continuous mode, which power supply is simple to manufacture and minimizes the voltage that other parts of the energizing circuit are required to withstand. The voltage provided by a high voltage DC power supply is boosted by the interaction of first and second reactive components. A first reactance is provided which stores charges at the boosted potential. This charge is provided to the laser to initiate electrical breakdown. The second reactance generates a potential which is additive with respect to the potential provided by the high voltage DC power supply so that the first reactance is charged to a potential equal to the generated potential plus the potential of the high voltage power supply.
