The design and development of various high-voltage switch mode power supplies (SMPSs) for use with streak cameras are described. This work details −15 kV(100 µA), ±2 kV (1 mA) and ±1 kV (1 mA) SMPSs for biasing the streak and image intensifier tubes, driving the sweep circuit and positioning the photoelectron beam on the phosphor screen of the streak camera respectively. The design of the high-frequency pulse transformer-the main part of these SMPSs-is also presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
