ELECTRIC-DISCHARGE LASER Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: quantum electronics, design of high- power and superhigh-power gas lasers of continuous and pulse-periodic action. SUBSTANCE: in three-electrode circuit of combined excitation one key electrode is connected to plate of reservoir capacitor of independent discharge through primary winding of pulse transformer and another key electrode is connected to plate of second reservoir capacitor of independent discharge through secondary winding of same pulse transformer. Its number of turns is equal to number of turns of primary winding. It is also possible that intermediate electrode is connected through inductance to midpoint of key storage circuit assembled from two capacitor units connected in series and to plate of reservoir capacitor which second plate is connected to additional power supply source and to commutator which second lead-out is grounded. One key electrode is connected to high-voltage lead-out of key storage circuit and to key power supply source through primary winding of pulse transformer and another key electrode is connected to second lead-out of key storage circuit and to grounded lead-out of key power supply source through secondary winding of same pulse transformer which number of turns is equal to number of turns of primary winding. EFFECT: improved functional characteristics of laser. 3 cl, 3 dwg
