This paper presents a nontraditional laser power system in which an active compensated pulsed alternator (ACPA) drives a flashlamp directly without the use of capacitor groups. As a result, the volume of the laser system is decreased because of the high energy density of the ACPA. However, the difficulty in matching the output of the alternator with the laser flashlamp is a significant issue and needs to be well analyzed. In order to solve this problem, based on the theory for ACPA, the authors propose a simplified model for the system of ACPA with flashlamp load by the way of circuit simulation. The simulation results preliminarily illuminate how the performance of the ACPA laser power system is affected. Meanwhile, the simulation results can also supply a consultation for future ACPA laser power system design and control.

In this paper, I propose the design technology of LLC resonant converter for the xenon flashlamp that is used to the solid state laser. Through the fabrication of 1.5kW large scale LLC resonant converter, the discharge characteristics are carried out, and introduce the new control method for limiting inrush current by the abrupt load current changes. The mathematical modeling for the lamp discharge includes the internal loss and lamp parameters. I propose the optimal method for the driving conditions of xenon flashlamp from the simulation results comparing the real measurements.
