ON THE LIMITED FREQUENCY OF FLASHES OF PULSE TUBES
Abstract
The limited frequency of discharges, related to the recovery time of the electric strength of the tube's discharge interval, depends on its design, voltage supply, power being dissipated in the lamp, and the voltage increase curve on the contact electrodes in the intervals between discharges. Two extreme lamp designs were investigated: one with a capillary quartz discharge tube of internal diameter -- 0.5 mm, length -70 mm, and the ther with a large spherical envelope of envelope diameter -- 65 mm, distance between electrodes -- 6 mm. The different variations of circuit diagrams used prevented a voltage increase in the tube after the regular flash by means of a pause in the charge current in the storage capacitor circuit. (Author)
