Photon Initiated Marxed Modulators

摘要

Sci-Eng Solutions has made significant progress toward the development of a Photon Initiated - Marxed Modulator (PIMM) designed to power two parallel klystrons with 1.6驴s, 500kV pulses with a flattop voltage precision better than 卤陆%. Successful development and deployment of Photon-initiated switches and their ancillary photon source / delivery system are crucial to attaining long life, reliable operation at 120Hz manifest to this application. The PIMM topology is equally applicable to many high power microwave applications pertinent to the directed energy arena.
