Abstract
A high voltage pulse generating system has a latching element coupled in between a ferroelectric generator (FEG) and a load, such as a vector inversion generator. Such a latching element prevents the return of current to the FEG when the FEG undergoes mechanical destruction after depolarization, thereby increasing the useful amount of energy extracted from the FEG. In some embodiments, multiple FEGs are configured with multiple latching elements to deliver multiple high-voltage, high-current pulses.
