                         requires pulsed power modulators to provide negative high voltage 
                         pulses. To achieve this requirement, we have developed three basic 
                         circuit configurations in our laboratory: pulse forming network 
                         (PFN), hard-tube pulser (HT) and Blumlein line. In this paper we 
                         discuss these three types of circuit topologies. As experimental 
                         results, first we present the voltage/current characteristic 
                         waveforms of PFN and HT pulsers in the PIII treatment of different 
                         materials (aluminum, silicon and stainless steel) as well we 
                         describe the surface characterization of the materials thereof 
                         treated.And finally,we show recent high voltage tests of a high 
                         voltage Blumlein pulser (150kV/300A/1mus) to be used in surface 
                         treatments of polymers and aluminum alloys.",
