The design of a TPI1-10k/50 thyratron-based modulator, powering a gas laser tube with a 50-cm length, 5-cm diameter, pulse repetition rate of up to 5 kHz, current of up to 7 kA, voltage of up to 10 kV, and half-height current pulse length of 23-5 ns is described. The test results demonstrating that it is possible to use this thyratron for pumping gas lasers in the frequency mode are presented.
