A High Power Pulse Generator with a Restricted Channel Diameter

Abstract

For a whole range of tasks a high temperature continuous spectrum pulse source with constant pulse brightness is necessary. Discharge from a network of condensers and inductances through an aperture in a textolite plate was used as such a light source. The thickness of the plate was 10 mm, aperture diameter 2 mm. Radiation diveed from the aperture according to the di rection of the axes of the impulse. The supply line consisted of four units with the following parameters, S 100 microfarad, L 1.5 micro henry. The discharge voltage was 3000 volts. The characteristic impedance of the line was 0.12 ohm. Oscillographs of the electrical character istics of the discharge showed that the pulse length was equal to 1 x ten to the minus four power per sec, the discharge current amplitude was 13000 amps, and the voltage across the gap was 1000 volts.
