HIGH-CURRENT PULSE GENERATOR FOR GALLIUM ARSENIDE LASER,

Abstract

A mercury wetted relay pulse generator and a pulse transformer have been built to drive gallium arsenide lasers in a fast pulse mode. The system is capable of 100-amp subnanosecond rise-time pulses at 800-Hz repetition rates. The design and performance are discussed. (Author)
