Abstract
The plasma opening switch(POS) is a promising pulsed power circuit switching device which uses an injected plasma, embedded in a low density gaseous dielectric background, first to conduct high currents for a period ranging from tens of nanoseconds up to several microseconds and then to convert them into a load by means of some conduction and opening mechanisms.1,2,3
