Why would I care what you trust? Do you think the NIF paper was faked?
It seems most unlikely, but - accepting that the paper is honest -
which I'm more than happy to do - all it says is that you were the
supplier, and your gear worked well enough to be satisfactory in the
application.
As you have mentioned here, when physicists publish about electronics,
they usually have exaggerated ideas about how good their electronics
is and how close it is to the state of the art. I've got a couple of
comments in Review of Scientific Instruments that criticise
particularly flagrant examples of this kind of defect.
We did two systems for NIF, got some awards, made some money, learned
an awful lot. That's what sometimes happens whan you DO stuff.
I've noticed. That's one of the reasons why I'd like to do some more
stuff, and why I'm frustrated by being confined to doing stuff I can
afford which solves the kinds of problems that I can dream up without
much help from the outside world. I learned a great deal when I was
working on the Cambridge Instruments Electron Beam Tester, and I
enjoyed the process.
