We describe the pulse forming of pulsed $CO_2$laser using multi-pulse superposition technique. A various pulse length, high duty cycle pulse forming network(PFN) is constructed by time sequence. That is, this study shows a technology that makes it possible to make various pulse shapes by turning on SCRs of three PFN modules consecutively at a desirable delay time with the aid of PIC one-chip microprocessor. The power supply for this experiment consists of three PFN modules. Each PFN module uses a capacitor, a pulse forming inductor, a SCR, a High voltage pulse transformer, and a bridge rectifier on each transformer secondary. The PFN modules operate at low voltage and drive the primary of HV pulse transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a full-wave rectifier, which passes the pulse energy to the load in a continuous sequence. We investigated laser pulse shape and duration as various trigger time intervals of SCRs among three PFN modules. As a result, we can obtain laser beam with various pulse shapes and durations from about 250 $mutextrm{s}$ to 600 $mutextrm{s}$.

This paper deals with the pulse generator using PFN(Pulse Forming Network), and its operation characteristics and application. Two kinds of pulse generator were composed of the best appropriate condition circuit. The output current of the one pulse generator has the rise time of 28 ns and the pulse duration of $7{\mu}s$. The other pulse generator has high current of about 2kA. By use of the former generator with rapid rise time, the impulse impedance characteristic of ground electrodes was investigated with measuring the ground potential rise when the pulse current was injected into the ground electrode.

In manufacturing processes, various and suitable pulse shapes are required for the purpose of material processing and the pulseshape is regarded as a dominant factor due to the specific property of processing materials. Therefore, in this study, a variable pulse width, high duty cycle Pulse Forming Network(PFN) is constructed by time sequently. The power supply for this experiment consists of three switching circuits. The PFN elements operate at low voltage and drive the primary of HV leakage transformer. The secondary of the transformer has a full-wave rectifier, which passes the pulse energy to the load in a continuous sequence of properly phased and nested increments. We investigated laser pulse width as various delay time among three switching circuit. As a result, we tan obtain various laser pulse width from about 4ms to 10ms. The maximum laser pulse width obtained at this experiment was about 10ms at delay time of 4ms among each switching circuit.

포항가속기연구소가 추진 중인 제4세대 방사광가속기에는 100 PPM급의 클라이스트론 펄스전압 안정도가 요구된다. 이러한 안정도는 PFN(pulse forming network)에 충전되는 전압을 얼마나 정밀하게 제어하는가에 따라서 결정된다. PFN의 최종운전 전압은 deQing circuit에 triggering되는 시점에 따라서 결정된다. DeQing trigger system은 PFN의 충전전압과 기준전압을 비교하여 충전전압이 기준전압보다 커지는 시점에서 charging choke(충전 쵸크)의 2차에 구성된 deQing 회로의 SCR를 트리거 시켜서 충전 쵸크 1차와 2차의 권선비율이 25:1인 충전 쵸크의 2차를 단락시켜 1차에 흐르는 전류를 2차로 빼주어서 PFN 커패시터에 더 이상 충전되지 않게 하는 구조로 되어있다. DeQing circuit에 triggering되는 시점을 정밀하게 제어하기 위하여 PFN 충전전압을 미분하여 그 출력전압에 비례하여 트리거 출력을 지연시키는 기능과 analog 신호를 digital 신호로 변환하는 기능을 사용하였다. 이 논문에서는 deQing 시스템에 관련된 회로 및 시험결과에 대하여 설명하고자 한다.

200-MW pulse modulators(total 11units) for the PLS linac employ the SCR phase control circuit. It controls 3-phase AC line voltage for the high-voltage DC power supply (DCPS, maximum of 25kVDC, 4.2A) which charges the pulse forming network(PFN). The PFN delivers 400kV, 500A, ESW $7.5{\mu}s$ pulse power to the 80-MW klystron amplifier tube. The SCR regulates 3-phase AC power and feeds to the high voltage transformer. Two different types of the transformer configurations namely ${\Delta}-{\Delta}$ and ${\Delta}-Y$, are alternatively installed to 11 modulator units for the suppression of harmonic noises. RC filters and reactors are also installed. Currently, approximately 110-kW of average AC power per unit is consumed at the normal operation level of the modulator with 30pps. This paper presents the operational characteristics of the high power pulse modulator, especially the experimental results of the AC line harmonic components generated by the operation of the high power pulse modulator to suppress the switching noises from the SCR and rectifying diode arrays.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation utilizes the method of controlling applied time and changing pulse by output pulse through power density control for diagnosis purposes. Transcranial magnetic stimulation can also be used in cases where diagnosis and treatment are difficult since output pulse shape can be changed. As intensity, pulse range, and pulse shape of the stimulation pulse must be changed according to lesion, the existing sine wave-shaped stimulation treatment pulse poses limitations in achieving various treatments and diagnosis. This study actualized a new method of transcranial magnetic stimulation that applies a 3 Stage 2 Switch( power semiconductor 2EA) for controlling pulse repetition rate by achieving numerous switching control of stimulation coil. Intensity, pulse range, and pulse shape of output can be freely changed to transform various treatment pulses in order to overcome limitations in stimulation treatment presented by the previous sine wave pulse shape. The method of freely changing pulse range by using 3 Stage 2 Switch discharge method is proposed. Pulse shape, composed of various pulse ranges, was created by grafting PFN (Pulsed Forming Network) through AVR AT80S8535 one-chip microprocessor technology, and application in transcranial magnetic stimulation was achieved to study the output characteristics of stimulation treatment pulse according to delaying time of the trigger signal applied in section switch.

The Korean Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research (KSTAR) tokamak device is being constructed to perform long-pulse, high-beta, advanced tokamak fusion physics experiments. The long-pulse operation requires the non-inductive current drive system such as the Lower-Hybrid Current Drive (LHCD) system. The LHCD system drives the non-inductive plasma current by means of C-band RF with 2-MW CW power and 5-GHz frequency. For the LHCD test experiments, an RF test system is developed. It is composed of a 5-GHz, 1.5-MW pulsed magnetron and a compact pulse modulator with $4\;{\mu}s$ of pulse width. The pulse modulator provides the maximum output voltage of 45 kV and the maximum current of 90 A. It is composed of 7 stages of Pulse Forming Network (PFN), a thyratron tube (E2V, CX1191D), and a pulse transformer with 1:4 step-up ratio. In this paper, the detailed design and the performance test of the pulse modulator are presented.
