Abstract

Blumlein discharge circuit stores electrical energy in its transmission line and canreleasethisenergy within a few nanoseconds. This leads the Blumlein to discharge circuit for many applications ranging from electrical discharge in the air to generate nitrogen laser, excitation source for vaporlasers to sub-nanosecond avalanche drivers.In this letter, we have simulated the equivalent Blumlein discharge circuitin Multisimulation and compared the results with the analytical modelto have the insight ofvariations of voltage, current and power in the Blumlein circuit. The Blumlein circuit isdivided into spark gap (spark gap)and Blumlein transmission linesections to observe the voltage, current and power oscillations.The rapid oscillations of voltage across the spark gap initiatethe discharge in the long transmission lines of Blumlein thatgenerates the coherent UV pulses.This study could pave the way towards the generation of ultraviolet (UV) pulses in the air at the atmospheric pressure.
