摘要: 介绍了利用大功率半导体激光二极管触发3 mm间隙GaAs光导开关、产生非线性电脉冲输出的实验,激光二极管输出功率为70 W,上升前沿约20 ns,脉冲半高宽(FWHM)约40 ns。随着开关两端偏置场强增加,输出电压也线性增加,当偏置场强超过一定阈值,增至约2.53 kV/mm时,经过一个较小的电压峰值和时间延迟后,输出电压急剧增加,产生雪崩现象。实验结果表明:GaAs开关非线性输出的产生与载流子聚集和碰撞电离有关,偏置电场的提高增加了开关芯片中载流子聚集数量,加剧了碰撞离化程度,从而使开关从线性模式进入雪崩模式。Abstract: This paper introduces an experiment of 3 mm-gap GaAs photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS) triggered by laser diode,which produces nonlinear output on 600 load. The peak power of laser diode is 70 W,and its output rise-time and duration (FWHM) are 20 and 40 ns, respectively. Along with the bias electric field enhancement, the output voltage increases linearly; when the bias electric field exceeds the threshold, about 2.53 kV/mm, the output voltage increases rapidly after a small peak and delay, and the avalanche occurs. Experiment results indicate that the production of nonlinear output has relation to carrier accumulation and impact ionization in GaAs chip; the enhancement of bias electric field increases the number of collective carriers, the degree of impact ionization, and thus accelerate the switchs turn into avalanche mode.
