Marx generator: KrF laser
Abstract
The impact of dimensioning and material choice upon a vacuum diode, consisting of a cathode with a hollow coaxial anode inside, was investigated using an optically triggered Marx generator with a 120 J maximum power capacity and a 50 nsec pulse length. The effects of different division pressure of Ar, Kr, and Fl upon the output power of the laser were examined in this set-up, in which accelerated electrons were provided in the anode for excitation or ionization of the Ar-gas. Measurements to determine the effects of different diode impedances upon the output power were carried out.
