Power Conditioning System For Flashlamps Pumped KW Level Solid State Heat Capacity Laser

The power conditioning system for Xe-flashlamps pumped kW average power output Solid State Heat Capacity Laser (SSHCL) is described. It is high voltage, high power, fault protected and solid state. It includes high power high voltage constant-current-charging system, capacitors bank, discharge control system, power supply of preignition for Xe-flashlamps, general control and diagnostic system. The power conditioning system drives flashlamps that pump the SSHCL. Flashlamps are driven by high voltage Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCR) switched, resonant charged, discharge pulse forming network (PFN). The system uses microchip and digital circle which is based on CAN-bus for control and diagnostics. Energy diagnosis and thermal management are controlled by computers. The practical application shows that the system meets the design demands which are operated at 6.6kJ/pulse at 10Hz repetition frequency, and runs well.
