Abstract
A high power electric pulse generator includes a charge storage device, a high voltage source for charging the charge storage device, a first photoconductor element connected to the reference potential and to the storage device, a second photoconductor element connected to the storage device and to a useful load, a first light source for delivering a pulse of light to the first photoconductor, a second light source for delivering a pulse of light to the second photoconductor and a synchronization device for synchronizing the emission delay between the first light source and the second light source. The first photoconductor and the second photoconductor are passive semiconductor elements with a linear regime forming photosensitive switches, with the first and second photoconductors being doped silicon photoconductors.
