A CuBr-based brightness amplifier with a repetition frequency of superradiance/amplification pulses up to 200 kHz

The paper presents the results of research and development of a high-speed brightness amplifier based on copper bromide vapor active medium, with a pulse repetition frequency of up to 200 kHz. This became possible due to the use of the reduced input energy into the discharge mode (less than 60 $\mu$J/cm$^3$ per pulse), by shortening the leading edge of the high-voltage pump pulse to 20 ns and the duration (at half-height) to 30 ns.
