GAS SWITCH TRIGGERED BY A LASER FILAMENT

摘要

The invention relates to a high-voltage electrical switching system including at least: two remote electrodes adjusted so as to have a potential difference; and a laser device for electrically connecting the two electrodes so as to generate an electric arc. Said laser device includes a pulsed laser configured so as to generate, according to a so-called filamenting process, a laser filament electrically connecting the two electrodes.
