Abstract
A pulse-shaping device is described that reproduces multiply repeated picosecond high-voltage pulses with a duration of 10−10 s, an amplitude of >100 kV, and a repetition rate of up to 103 Hz. The principle of switching the circuit using a single spark gap filled with a compressed gas instead of conventional spark peakers and a chopping gap, connected in series, is applied. The use of compressed hydrogen at a pressure of 30 atm as the working gas favors stability of the discharge voltage and a virtually unlimited lifetime of the shaping device.
