Abstract
A laser device equipped with a high-voltage pulse generator wherein the pulse generator supplies an electric energy from a dc power source in an on-off form of a supply voltage to a tank circuit through a transformer, with the switching on and off of the supply voltage being effected in synchronism with the resonance period of the tank circuit. The tank circuit stores the supplied electric energy as a resonance condition so that when the electric energy stored in the tank circuit reaches a predetermined value, a saturable reactor connected between the laser device and the tank circuit becomes saturated and the electric energy in the tank circuit is discharged to the laser device.
