HIGH-POWER BIPOLAR PICOSECOND PULSE GENERATION USING OPTICALLY ACTIVATED TRAVELING WAVE GENERATOR

摘要

We demonstrate the generation of multikilovolt bipolar picosecond pulses using an optically activated travelling wave generator into 50Ω load. The spectral content of the output electrical pulse can be modified to favour or reduce low-frequency components. Bipolar pulses of 450 ps of duration with more than 3 kV of peak voltage are produced.
