Abstract
A method of insuring efficient triggering of a laser flashlamp by ion plag to the outer surface of the quartz envelope of the flashlamp and an elongated thin electrically conductive strip which consists of an underlying thin layer of silver coated with a thin layer of nickel.
Claims3
A method of insuring triggering of a laser flashlamp by application of an electrical impulse to an elongated metal strip permanently affixed to the outer surface of the quartz envelope of said flashlamp, comprising the steps of forming said metal strip by masking said flashlamp envelope to leave exposed an elongated region of said envelope, ion plating onto said exposed region of said envelope a thing layer of silver, and ion plating onto said plated layer of silver a thin layer of nickel.
