  • Abstract
    With the present state of Plasma Opening Switch (POS) development, the POS itself is the limitation in inductive driver performance. There is a large payoff in improving the opening switch. Sandia is pursuing a POS that can use the advantages of inductive energy storage, namely, very high energy density and reduced driver size. This is a challenging goal.
