  • Abstract
    Investigates the feasibility of the laser beam as a trigger for high-voltage gaps. The formative times are studied as a function of the working voltage for different values of pressure, gap spacing and laser power. A low jitter was obtained, of the order of ± 1 ns for a delay of up to 20 ns, making the laser suitable for triggering multiple arc gaps.
