Abstract

In order to restrain the prepulse of a high energy fluence diode, a flash-over switch made of a nylon cylinder was inserted in between the cathode stalk and the cathode. Secondary prepulse technique was developed to lower the flash-over voltage of the switch. It was found that the surface resistivity of the nylon insulator changes considerably after each shot and this resistivity on the order of 107/m is most suitable for a 20-mm long flash-over switch to operate stably at a lower flash-over voltage.
