A unique high-current short-pulse generator has been developed through the years at Polytechnique Montreal.An innovative design of the core technology has been developed to reach performance unmatched incomparison with available commercial current generators. The design is modular in the sense that the mainmodule can be combined with different types of slave modules to optimize the current generator characteristicsfor a desired application. In all cases, the shape of the current pulse (square, sinusoidal, etc.) can be arbitrarydefined by the user. The main strength of the design comes from the high precision in the shape of thegenerated current pulse. In its simplest form, the generator can create an almost perfectly square impulse,which is very challenging in the microsecond regime and at very high currents (more than 100 A)simultaneously. Furthermore, the noise generated is very low.Considering that high-current short-pulse generators are used in a number of industries, the core technologydeveloped at Polytechnique can be easily adapted to produce current generators for numerous applications at acompetitive price. The goal of the current market assessment is thus to evaluate which applications representthe most promising opportunity for the technology, both in terms of the size of the addressable market, but alsoof the significance of the competitive advantage that the technology could provide.

蒙特利尔理工学院多年来开发了一种独特的高电流短脉冲发生器。核心技术的创新设计已经开发出来，以达到与现有商业电流发生器相比无与伦比的性能。该设计是模块化的，在这个意义上，主模块可以与不同类型的从模块相结合，以优化电流发生器的特性，以满足所需的应用。在所有情况下，电流脉冲的形状（方形、正弦等）可以由用户任意定义。该设计的主要优势来自于所产生的电流脉冲形状的高精度。在其最简单的形式中，发生器可以产生几乎完美的方形脉冲，这在微秒范围内非常具有挑战性，同时具有非常高的电流（超过100 A）。考虑到大电流短脉冲发生器在许多行业中的应用，Polytechnique开发的核心技术可以很容易地以具有竞争力的价格为许多应用生产电流发生器。因此，当前市场评估的目标是评估哪些应用代表了该技术最有希望的机会，既要考虑可寻址市场的规模，也要考虑该技术可以提供的竞争优势的重要性。
