High-voltage pulse generator developed for wide-gap spark chambers

Low-inductance, high-capacitance Marx pulse generator provides for minimization of internal inductance and suppression of external electromagnetic radiation. The spark gaps of the generator are enclosed in a pressurized nitrogen atmosphere which allows the charging voltage to be varied by changing the nitrogen pressure

The energy and cost calculation for a Marx pulse generator based on input dc voltage, capacitor values and number of stages

Visualization of the energy equation can simplify understanding the performance of a Marx pulse generator. In this paper, the energy of a Marx pulse generator is calculated and visualized for input dc voltage from 1 to 20 kV, value of the capacitor from 1 to 33 nF and the number of stages from 1 to 20 stages. Moreover, in order to calculate the approximate cost of the Marx pulse generator, an equation proposed and evaluated

Note: Investigation of a Marx generator imitating a Tesla transformer

A compact Marx generator was built to mimic a spark-gap Tesla transformer. The generator produced radio-frequency pulses of up to $\pm$200 kV and $\pm$15 A with a frequency between 110 to 280 kHz at a repetition rate of 120 Hz. The generator tolerated larger circuit-parameter perturbations than is expected for conventional Tesla transformers. Possible applications include research on the control and laser guiding of spark discharges.Comment: 9 pages, 11 figures, includes supplementary material (but not supplementary video

High energy extraction of electron beam pumped KrF lasers at multi atmospheres

The construction is described of a simple and compact KrF laser with electron beam excitation. The electron beam is generated in a coaxial vacuum diode, driven directly by a ten-stage coaxial Marx generator. A flat MgF2 outcoupler and a suprasil roof prism, protected by an MgF2 window, proved to be resistant against optically and chemically induced damage. A gas mixture of 4.5 bar Ar, 150 mbar Kr and 10 mbar F2 gives an energy output of 0.46 J from a 16 cm3 volume in 40 ns pulses or 0.72 MW/cm3

Construction and performance characteristics of a rapid discharge TEA CO2 laser

A novel excitation technique is described for molecular gas lasers. A specially constructed electrode configuration is activated by a rapid Marx generator. A very homogeneous selfsustained discharge can be obtained although no separate preionization source is present. The construction is applied to a CO2 system. Details of the operating characteristics are given. We found the maximum energy production to be over 60 J per liter and a small-signal gain of 6% per cm could be reached
