Abstract
The laser-triggered spark gap (LTSG) has found uses in many applications where ultra-fast voltage transitions are required, primarily because of its reliability of operation, simplicity of construction and speed of response. The LTSG can be incorporated into most coaxial systems with minimum change of impedance, a necessary condition to achieve fast electrical switching. The authors report on practical measurements of the rise times generated by the LTSG which show that, for a certain gap setting, there is a minimum rise time that may be achieved and that the parameters, voltage and pressure, which are determined theoretically to give this minimum rise time are in reasonable agreement with the practically measured values.
