Abstract
A photoconductive switch coupled to an energy storage device wherein the tch is comprised of photoconductive semiconductor material while the energy storage device comprises two quasi-radial transmission line including a different material, i.e. a dielectric storage medium. The photoconductive semiconductor gallium arsenide switch is electrically connected to two quasi-radial transmission lines formed in part by layers of metallization configured in a quasi-radially shaped pattern upon the energy storage device. A variation comprises a photoconductive semiconductor gallium arsenide wafer sandwiched between two quasi-radial transmission lines so that the semiconductor gallium arsenide wafer serves as substrate, energy storage medium, and photoconductive switch.
