Pulse-power circuit diagnostics for the Nova laser

Creators

Description

The Nova laser will have a large pulse power system for driving laser amplifiers, incorporating approximately 1600 flashlamp circuits. An automated system has been designed for diagnosing the condition of these flashlamp circuits. It records digitized circuit current waveforms and detects current excursions above a given threshold. In addition, it is able to fire flashlamps at a low energy to ascertain the health of the system. Data from this system can be ploted for inspection by the operator, analyzed by the computer system and archived for future reference
