Abstract
Energy recovery of narrow, high power pulses based on loss free resistor (LFR) topology is described. A novel LFR realization based on transmission lines is presented. The purpose of this LFR is to recycle high voltage, high power (up to 20KV, 1MW) parasite pulses which arise in a copper vapour laser. These pulses consume up to 40% of the total power of the system. Currently, a low voltage (170V) LFR of this type has been constructed and operated at recycling efficiency of 85%.
