Abstract
A high Tc superconductor opening switch controlled inductive energy st orage pulsed power system (IESPPS) has been demonstrated. A 500 Hz pul se train of jitter-free 75-318 ps electrical pulses was produced. We a lso show that the IESPPS produces a pulse compression ratio of 6-10. C ompared with previous results, we have reduced the pulse width by a fa ctor of ten and increased the repetition rate by a factor of 500 while reducing the laser trigger energy from 1 mJ/pulse to 20 muJ/pulse.
