  • Laser flash lamp triggering circuit
    Patent number: 4745613
    Abstract: A laser flash lamp triggering circuit is connected in parallel with the flash lamp and between the flash lamp and the flash lamp power supply. A impedance element is connected between the parallel trigger circuit network and the pulse forming network in the power supply. The impedance element preferably in the form of a saturable reactor has a high impedance to the high voltage trigger pulse and a low impedance to the current flow from the storage capacitor forming part of the pulse forming network. This invention relates to a laser flash lamp power supply and, more particularly, a triggering circuit for the flash lamp which has low power dissipation.
