Abstract
We describe a numerical model of an avalanche switch that incorporates the possibility of filament creation. Detailed results of this method are presented which show time delay between beginning of initiating laser pulse and switching, turn-on time much faster than carrier transit time, and formation of high current filament. Quantitative results from this model are in reasonable agreement with experimentally observed values.Keywords
