High-power pulse repetitive HF(DF) laser with a solid-state pump generator. (November 2015) - Velikanov, S.D.
Abstract: Operation of a repetitively pulsed electric-discharge HF(DF) laser with an all-solid-state pump generator based on FID switches is demonstrated. The energy stored in the pump generator capacitors was at an open-circuit voltage of and a discharge pulse repetition rate of . The specific energy extractions were 3.8 and for the HF and DF lasers, respectively. The possibilities of improving the output laser characteristics are discussed.
