Abstract
A generator designed on the basis of reversely switched dynistors and forming pump pulses for a coppervapor laser is described. The operation of the circuit is considered in detail. Its main components are a low-voltage high-current switch operating on the basis of a reversely switched dynistor (RSD), a step-up pulse transformer, and a system for magnetic compression of pulses. It is shown that a RSD makes it possible to increase the efficiency and decrease the dimensions of the generator in comparison with thyristor systems. Pulses of electric current through the active element of a copper-vapor laser with a 40-ns leading edge and a repetition rate of 8 kHz are formed. Laser radiation with an output power of 2 W is obtained.
