Abstract

An electromagnetic radiation source includes a toroidal chamber that contains an ionizable medium. The electromagnetic radiation source also includes a magnetic core that surrounds a portion of the toroidal chamber. The electromagnetic radiation source also includes a pulse power system for providing pulses of energy to the magnetic core for delivering power to a plasma formed in the toroidal chamber to produce electromagnetic radiation that radiates radially through walls of the toroidal chamber.
