Apparatus producing fast pulsed discharges in a laser, particularly for high-energy lasers

摘要

The invention relates to an excitation system for fast pulsed discharge, in particular a high power laser of the TEA type, with excitation by as homogenous as possible arc-free capacitor discharge in the gas space between at least two parallel to the optical axis (0) of the laser-extending and spaced each other gegunüberliegenden electrodes ( EL _1, EL ₂₎ a laser chamber (LK) and having first and second strip conductor capacitors (C _F, C _K) for induction-carbon energy storage and contacting of the laser electrodes (e _{L "eL,)} and the electrodes (EF _1, e . _F,) of the associated fast high-voltage switching path (F) According to the invention extend the coverings (1,2,3,4; 1 ', 2', 3 ', 4') of the first and second strip conductor capacitors (C _F) and (C _k) and d their intermediate dielectric layers (d, d ') substantially normal to the optical axis (0) of the laser and are parallel to the optical axis of the laser to a capacitor package (K) is substantially Apelt and with lateral connection flags (f, f1, f2, f4) connected to the electrodes (E _L1, E _L) of the laser chamber (LK).
