Is pulse detonation applicable for rocket technology?

In principle, yes. It offers very high combustion pressures without
needing high-pressure pumps.

In practices, maybe someday. The fact that it's been coming "real soon
now" for going on fifty years is not encouraging.

Sounds like 1940's German V1 engine.

Maybe strap a V1 intake to a ramjet. Use pulse jet for low speeds
& lock the shutters open for high speed ramjet operations?
