Abstract—Pulsed flashlamps are one of the most important components in Inertial Confinement Fusion Laser Driver, which showed notable physical relevance in reliability tests. Researching the reliability of the object in the position of physical relevance is a way that different to the traditional methods and has not been applied to the research of pulsed flashlamps practically. Based on the physical characteristics of pulsed flashlamps’ failures, a failure probability model was put forward in the article, which can realize the reliability modeling and estimating of pulsed flashlamps with reliability data of peak-currents from power conditioning module.
