Synchronization of energy extraction from microwave compressor cavities with laser triggering

Laser triggering was used to synchronize the switching of two resonant microwave compressors over to energy extraction mode. The obtained experimental data of the study are presented. Practically the precise synchronism was demonstrated when switching the working mode in the storage regime. Each compressor provided pulses of 250 MW power and 5 ns pulsewidth, the pulse summation gave the output pulse power of 500 MW. Foundation of the supposition that the combined power of several compressors with common load can exceed 1 GW when laser radiation synchronized operation is given.
