Summary:

The general transmission characteristics of a pulse-stacking system consisting of an etalon and a cylindrical-ring electrode Pockels cell Q-switch are discussed. A voltage pulse-forming network capable of switching the Pockels cell transmission on the necessary time scales is presented and the outputs of a simple pulse-stacker configuration are calculated for different voltage waveforms. These results indicate that an efficient (approximately 1 percent total pulse energy transmission) Pockels cell pulse-stacker can be constructed, which can provide a variable, faster-than-exponential rise in transmitted pulse intensity.
