HIGH-POWER ULTRA-WIDEBAND ELECTRICAL-PULSE GENERATION USING A DOPED SILICON PHOTOCONDUCTIVE SWITCH

摘要

By using photoconductive semiconductor switches in the linear mode, we achieve generation of electrical pulses of duration between 43 and 300 ps with a peak voltage between 1.50 and 10700 V, Moreover, these generators can be synchronised with a precision lower than 5 ps and they need only 1.2 mJ of optical energy.
