Description
We propose to develop a modular HPM system utilizing multi-cycle EM generation with photo-conductive switches. Each module will include all its related components with their unique requirements to allow simple stacking of modules to address a variety of applications. The modules will also include an LDH based HPM source (pat xxx), a switching power supply charging circuit and a laser amplifier. This SBIR proposal will address; i) modular design; ii) the dedicated charging circuit; and iii) the laser amplifier. The challenge is defined by the picoseconds range laser pulse width and jitter requirements, as well as the coherent operation and steering of the resulting HPM beam.
