Abstract
A metal oxide threshold switch (MOTS, e.g., NbO.sub.x, x preferably fractally less than 2) series connected is used to sharpen the pulse rise to about one nanosecond, with a peak of thousands of volts, and up to 100 amperes or more. A trigger pulse is used to further sharpen the pulse and reduce jitter.
