Light Activated 10 kV Low Jitter Pulser
Abstract
An optically activated 10 kV pulser was designed to provide low jitter, long life, reliable triggering of ignitrons, trigatron, or midplane triggered spark gaps in high voltage electrically noisy environments. For midplane triggered spark gaps, a step-up transformer is also required. The input to a fibre optic cable is a 9.5 watt injection laser diode. The pulser detects and amplifies the fibre optic cable output to 10 kV.
