    摘要: A Q-switched gas laser apparatus with bivariate pulse equalization includes a gas laser, a sensor, and an electronic circuit. A Q-switch that switches the laser resonator between high-loss and low-loss states to generate a pulsed laser beam. The sensor obtains a measurement of the pulsed laser beam indicative of the laser pulse energy. The electronic circuitry operates the Q-switch to (a) repeatedly switch the laser resonator between the high-loss and low-loss states to set a repetition rate of laser pulses of the pulsed laser beam, (b) adjust a loss level of the low-loss state, based on the pulse energy measurement, to achieve a target laser pulse energy, and (c) adjust a duration of the low-loss state to achieve a target laser pulse duration. By adjusting both pulse energy and duration, uniform pulse energy and, if desired, uniform pulse duration are achieved over a wide range of repetition rates.

    摘要: A radio-frequency (RF) planar transformer includes three spaced-apart, single-turn primary strip-windings connected electrically in parallel with each other. A one-turn secondary strip-winding is located between each adjacent pair of primary strip-windings. The secondary strip-windings are connected in electrical series with each other. The transformer functions as a transformer having a one-turn primary winding and a two-turn secondary winding.
