Abstract
A photoconductive switch coupled to an energy storage device wherein the tch is comprised of photoconductive semiconductor material while the energy storage device comprises two discrete dielectric mediums. Each medium having a conductive electrode on the top and bottom surfaces to essentially form parallel capacitors wherein the parallel capacitors are separated by a predetermined gap distance. A photoconductive switch electrically connected to each medium such that the switches are located on the opposite sides of their respective mediums. The predetermined gap distance (between the electrodes) and the photoconductive switches (on opposite sides of the storage devices) provide suppression of surface flashover between very high voltage, charged electrodes. Such flashover suppression allowing for very high power pulse generation.
