	Funding: DOE Contract DE-SC0004255 Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI), under an SBIR grant from the U.S. Department of Energy, assembled a prototype MOSFET-based pulse generator capable of meeting the original specifications for the Next Generation Light Source (NGLS) fast deflector. This pulse generator is also applicable to other high repetition-rate FELs with multiplexed beamlines. The unit must drive a 50 Ω load (such as a terminated TEM deflecting structure) at 10 kV, with flat-topped pulses at a 100 kHz average rate. The specification requires a 2 ns rise time (10 – 90%), a highly repeatable flattop with pulse width from 5 – 40 ns, and a fall time (90% to .01%) less than 1 μs (to allow a 1 MHz beam pulse rate). The driver must also effectively absorb high-order mode signals emerging from the deflector itself. The solid-state pulse generator is suitable for many accelerator systems with < 10 ns kicker requirements. The performance and applications of the unit will be described.
