Abstract

Recently there has been a growing interest in sharpening electric and magnetic pulses in order to improve a wide variety of pulsed sources like compact particle accelerators1, X-ray sources etc. An essential tool for pulse sharpening is the saturable magnetic switch. Some of the unique properties of this device includes negligible energy absorption, fast recovery (i.e., high repetition rate), low specific volume (liter/kW), and an improved design flexibility compared to conventional spark gap switches.
