Transit Properties of High Power Ultra-Fast Photoconductive Semiconductor Switch
Abstract:
Experiments of a GaAs ultra-fast Photo-Conductive Semiconductor Switch (PCSS)are reported. Both the linear and nonlinear modes were observed when triggered by the μJ nano-second laser. The peak current could be as high as 560A. The rise time of the current pulse responses is less than 200ps when triggered with 76MHz femto-second laser.
