The modification of a power supply circuit used for pumping metal vapor lasers is analyzed. The results of OrCAD simulation of the processes that occur in the power supply are presented. The effect of the capacitance ratio on the charging process of a storage capacitor is described. The mode which provides more time for the recovery of the thyratron is discussed. The results of the development of the small-size high pulse repetition frequency laser with up to 3 W average output power are presented
