Pulsed power in Japan

Abstract

Pulsed power investigations in Japan include not only the development of pulsed power generators but also of many different applications of pulsed power. A number of pulsed power researchers in both universities and companies are gradually increasing with the spread of pulsed power applications. In education, three different Japanese textbooks have been published to introduce pulsed power technology to students and beginners. A pulsed power organization for exchanging information over a computer network is developing in Japan.
