| Abstract |
Continuing development of power semiconductor devices is extending their range of application to completely new fields, as well as areas in which components such as electron tubes have previously been used. A case in point is the generation of very short high-current pulses for high-energy lasers; a demonstration unit is described which employs fast, reverse conducting thyristors from the CSR series. 2000 A / 0.4 us pulses generated with a switching frequency of 5 kHz will allow thyratrons to be replaced in the future by semiconductors which can switch a virtually unlimited number of pulses with high efficiency. |
