The authors have developed an avalanche transistor based pulser for us
e as a pockel cells driver and for gating a microchannel plate. The ou
tput voltage ranges from 1-4 kV to 50 Ohm, with fall times of 200-300
ps. The repetition rate is less than 1 kHz. The tr-ig jitter is less t
han 100 ps. Trig delay is about 8 ns. (C) 1998 American Institute of P
