ABSTRACT:
A high repetition rate high power spark gap switch of the type useful in pulsed lasers, radar systems and pulse-forming networks is enabled to operate with higher switching speed at high power levels by rapid chemical composition change cyclically made in the spark gap at high frequency with differing standoff voltage capabilities of different compositions produced in the gap in each cycle. The different standoff voltage capabilities are produced by injecting different gases under fluidic switching control.
