Multimegavolt Modulator Study.
Abstract
Energy storage and switching systems related to modulator operation at voltages in excess of one million volts are discussed. Two-basic switch-closure schemes are treated in detail: the trigatron and the laser-triggered switch. Experimental determinations of multimegavolt switching range and spark gap erosion are described. Test results are presented for a high voltage pulse generator which can be controlled from ground potential by means of optical telemetry. A 1-MV prototype of a high average power, high voltage power supply developed at the High Voltage Engineering Corporation is described. (Author)
