A thyristor, silicon controlled rectifier (SCR), switched multistage magnetic pulse compressor has been successfully developed for KrF excimer laser excitation. Being composed entirely of solid-state elements, this exciter will provide the extremely long lifetime at high repetition rate operation that cannot be realized by a conventional power supply with a discharge switch.
