Ampegon supplies RF amplifier systems and voltage regulated DC power supplies for large-scale research projects based on particle acceleration. One of the most interesting and challenging applications is that of synchrotron light source facilities. This light can penetrate deep inside matter, allowing scientists to investigate the world around us at the scale of atoms and molecules.

This exceptional light is produced using high energy accelerators, where electrons are energized and accelerated to almost the speed of light. In electromagnetic cavities, the electrons are energized by special RF amplifiers, in order to compensate the energy loss of the electrons caused by synchrotron radiation. The RF power of these amplifiers is typically in the range of 50 - 350 kW.

Ampegon RF amplifier systems and high voltage power supplies are especially suited for such applications due to their high flexibility, reliability, accuracy, efficiency and long lifetime.
