Three basic elements are 1) high voltage DC power supply for charging the energy storage capacitor bank 2) pulse forming net work (PFN) comprising of inductance ( L ), capacitor ( C ) and resistance ( R ) being the resistance at the time of gas discharge for transfer of energy from capacitor to flash lamp.3) trigger circuit to provide a low current & high voltage trigger pulse to initiate ionization of the gas and subsequent gas discharge and flash lamp output.
