Self-triggering circuit for gas-filled laser

摘要

A self-triggering circuit for a gas-filled laser is disclosed. Electrical pulses which stimulate laser emission are applied to the laser cavity in response to an electrical energy change in the laser charging circuit when ionizing radiation is injected into the laser cavity. A semiconductor device of the type responsive to dv/dt, or of the type responsive to di/dt, is used as the self-triggering switch.
