Fig. 2. The analogy of the mouse-to-elephant curve in pulsed power. The line with the faster rising slope comprises systems either driven by explosives or that use state-of-the-art high energy density components. The line with the lower slope represents more traditional pulsed power systems found in the laboratory. (Parameters for the sources denoted with an asterisk were obtained from [2].)

The views, opinions and/or findings contained in this report are those of the author(s) and should not be construed as an official Department of the Army position, policy or decision, unless so designated by other documentation. REPORT DOCUMENTATION PAGE In this introduction to the Special Issue on pulsed power and its applications, background information is provided for the non- specialist to better understand the many challenges in designing pulsed power systems, and the wide diversity of applications that are now emerging. The approach to providing a tutorial on pulsed power technology is to make available to the reader the paper written by J.C. Martin which appeared in a Special Section of the PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE on pulsed power technology in June 1992. That paper is supplemented in this introduction with additional information that complements many of the invited papers composing this Special Issue.
