Rc. Bapna et al., GENERATION OF SUBNANOSECOND LASER-PULSES BY PERIODIC Q-SWITCHING TECHNIQUE USING A SIMPLE ELECTRICALLY TRIGGERED SPARK GAP, Measurement science & technology, 4(7), 1993, pp. 787-789
The generation of subnanosecond Nd:YAG laser pulses by the technique o
f periodic Q-switching using a simple electrically triggered spark gap
is described, The construction and some operating characteristics of
the spark gap are given. The measurement of very short rise time high-
voltage pulses using a V probe is also described.
