Abstract :
A previously reported high-speed microwave spark gap switch is triggered with a flash of intense ultraviolet light, but requires the applied rf power Ievel to be close to the self-breakdown value of the gap. For this reason, the reliable use of the u-v triggered switch is restricted to rf pulse widths which are less than the formative time for an rf discharge (0.25-0.50 microseconds).
