A New Automated Trigger Circuit for a Pulsed Nd: YAG Laser
Abstract
The power supply of flash lamp-pumped a Nd: YAG
solid-state laser basically consists of a trigger circuit which initiate
the ionization of the gas into the lamp, a simmer circuit that keeps the
ionized gas with a low-level dc current and a main discharge circuit
where a storage capacitor is discharged into a flash lamp to pump the
Nd:YAG laser. The impedance of the flash lamp presents a nonlinear
variation and the gas deionization which can occur between two pulses
laser, leading to another manual triggering operation. To overcome this
operation, we give in this paper a new automated trigger circuit
activated by a delivered signal from the simmer circuit. This circuit is
simple for implementation and need just few components. It has been
simulated by PSpice software and validated by experimental
results.
