Laser device with high-voltage pulse generator, high-voltage pulse generator and pulse generating method

摘要

A laser device (102) equipped with a high-voltage pulse generator (100) wherein the pulse generator (100) supplies an electric energy from a dc power source (4) in an on-off form of a supply voltage to a tank circuit (9) through a transformer (101), with the switching on and off of the supply voltage being effected in synchronism with the resonance period of the tank circuit (9). The tank circuit (9) stores the supplied electric energy in the form of electric oscillations so that when the electric energy stored in the tank circuit (9) reaches a predetermined value, a saturable reactor connected between the laser device (102) and the tank circuit (9) is saturated and the electric energy in the tank circuit (9) is discharged to the laser device (102).
