Hertzian Array Switch Investigation.
Abstract
An investigation of fast, high power switching with jitter in the sub-nanosecond time domain is reported. Methods involving field distortion triggering in high pressure gases, photoconduction triggering in aprotic liquids and opto-electronic triggering in solid semiconductors have been investigated. The most promising avenue for further research is identified in the latter area where extremely small jitter and rapid turn-on capabilities are well matched to the timing requirements in Hertzian arrays.
