The longevity of high gain GaAs photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSSs) has been extended to well over ten million pulses by reducing the density of carriers at the semiconductor to metal interface. This was achieved by reducing the density in

Optically activated GaAs switches operated in their high-gain mode are being used or tested for pulsed power applications as diverse as low-impedance, high-current firing sets in munitions; high impedance, low-current Pockels cell or Q-switch drivers

Progress toward the triggering of high-power photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSSs) with laser diode arrays, is reported. An 850-W optical pulse from a laser diode array was used to trigger a 1.5-cm-long switch that delivered 8.5 MW to a 38.3

Switching properties are reported for high gain photoconductive semiconductor switches (PCSS). A 200 ps pulse width laser was used in tests to examine the relations between etectric field, rise time, delay, and minimum optical trigger energy for swit

The lock-on effect is a high gain, high field switching mechanism that has been observed in GaAs and InP. This switching mode is exciting because the amount of light required to trigger it is small when compared to triggering the same switch at low f

Pictures are presented of the time evolution of current filaments during optically triggered, high gain switching in GaAs. Two filaments are triggered with two laser diode arrays and the time delay between them is varied. When the filament that is tr
