Ballast Technique For Laser Cathode Pins
View pageUS Patent:
41669860, Sep 4, 1979
Filed:
Jun 10, 1977
Appl. No.:
5/805369
Inventors:
Richard L. Hundstad - Wilkinsburg PA
Steve A. Wutzke - Penn Hills PA
Steve A. Wutzke - Penn Hills PA
Assignee:
Westinghouse Electric Corp. - Pittsburgh PA
International Classification:
H01S 3097
US Classification:
331 945PE
Abstract:
The discrete ballast resistors associated with the multiple pin array of laser cathode structures are replaced by a bulk resistive material in the form of an integral bar or slab which is maintained in contact with the plurality of pin electrodes comprising the laser cathode assembly to provide a stable ballast means. The bulk resistive member employed to provide the ballast for the pin electrodes can exhibit non-linear resistive characteristics to provide greater laser discharge stability with less power dissipation.
