Diversified Technologies, Inc. (DTI) assembled a prototype pulse generator capable of meeting the original specifications for the Next Generation Light Source (NGLS) fast deflector. The ultimate NGLS kicker driver must drive a 50 Ω terminated Transverse Electromagnetic (TEM) deflector blade at 10 kV, with flat-topped pulses and a sustained repetition rate of 100 kHz. Additional requirements of the specification include a 2 ns rise time (10 – 90%), a highly repeatable flattop with pulse width from 5 – 40 ns, and a fall time less than 1 μs (down to 10-4 of the peak value). The driver must also effectively absorb high-order mode signals emerging from the deflector itself. It is envisioned that a scintilla of deflection will be imparted by a symmetric pair of shaped parallel deflection blades, pulsed in opposition at 10 kV. Within the guide, each TEM wave produced by the two pulse generators traverses the guide synchronously with the selected (relativistic) charge packet. The DTI team has designed and demonstrated the key elements of a solid state kicker driver capable of meeting the NGLS requirements, with possible extension to a wide range of fast-pulse applications.
