Inverter power supply and control system for high pulse energy laser shock processing

In order to meet high pulse laser output, the laser shock power supply based on insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) inverter technology, constant current-constant voltage charger mode, high voltage pulse spark, and high pulse current discharger technology is designed. The master oscillator stage and two amplifier stages for xenon flash lamp spark and discharge circuits are designed in this power supply. The voltage of energy storage capacitors can be adjusted from 1 000 to 3 000 V. A variety of measures, such as FREE and Q-switch mode, trigger signal delay, water confining layer control, cooling water control are provided for laser shock processing technology optimization.
