The construction and some of the operating characteristics of a multichannel, laser triggered spark gap (LTSG) are described. Simultaneous subnanosecond switching in five channels of up to 10 kV is possible, making the LTSG an ideal master switch for pulsing Pockel cells to control the pulse shape and isolation necessary in a large laser oscillator-amplifier system. Operated under N 2 at a pressure of approximately 10 kTorr the LTSG had a risetime <300 ps and used in conjunction with a fast Pockel cell switch could shutter reliably optical pulses of
