The peak current, power, and half-peak duration of the current through a flash tube are determined. The flash tube may be considered as an element in an R-L-C circuit whose electrical behavior is dependent on a single parameter. The variation of tube current with voltage is examined and the plasma impedance determined. The intensity, rise time, decay time, and half-peak duration of the radiation pulse are determined for a range of tube geometries and gas pressures. The duration of the radiation pulse depends on that of the current, but the intensity is dependent on both gas pressure and power density.
测定通过闪光管的电流的峰值、功率以及电流的半峰持续时间。闪光管可被视为一个R-L-C电路中的元件，其电学行为取决于单个参数。研究管电流随电压的变化并确定等离子体阻抗。针对一系列管的几何形状和气体压力，测定辐射脉冲的强度、上升时间、衰减时间和半峰持续时间。辐射脉冲的持续时间取决于电流的持续时间，但强度取决于气体压力和功率密度两者。
