1. A power supply comprising:
- means for receiving a first control signal;
first means for generating a first current in response to low frequency components of said first control signal;
second means for generating a second current in response to high frequency components of said first control signal; and
output means for generating an output current in response to said first and second currents wherein said output current is a substantially flat frequency function of said first control signal.

Abstract
A circuit for providing current to a laser tube permits high current, high output voltage, and high frequency modulation response (e.g., up to about 1 MHz, in one embodiment) with low power dissipation. This is accomplished by combining the output current from two current sources, one of which is a high amplitude low frequency current mode switched mode power supply, while the other current source is a low amplitude, high frequency current source.
