Abstract

Most of the recent advances in pulse power have been driven by increased interest in power supplies to drive large pulsed plasma devices. Brief descriptions of such plasma devices as are being used in our laboratory are given. A more detailed description of the power supplies being developed is given with particular emphasis on design and switching.
