IGBT를 사용한 금속증기레이저용 펄스 전원 = A Pulse Power Supply for a Metal Vapor Laser Using IGBTs

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

A pulse power supply using IGBTs and MPC (magnetic pulse compression) circuit was developed for a metal vapor laser. The life time of the pulse power supply is expected to be much longer than that of a vacuum tube or thyratron type pulse power supply. A series-connected IGBT array generated a long pulse of its pulse width 2 μs and then it was compressed to less than 100 ns by a three stage MPC circuit. This pulse power supply was applied to a laser plasma tube of 10 mm inner diameter and 0.5 m discharge length, and successfully operated.
