A few mJ of KrF excimer laser radiation have been used to initiate multichannel breakdown in a low-inductance gas-insulated rail-gap switch. The switch, which contains two uniform field electrodes, has been operated in a pulse-charged voltage range of 30–130 kV and has demonstrated jitters as low as 100 ps. A very simple trigger device which incorporates the important features of laser triggering but which uses incoherent UV radiation produced in a corona discharge has also resulted in low jitter, multichannel switch performance.
