Abstract
It is shown that the individual microplasma breakdowns in silicon p-n junctions may be used in the generation of pulses which have a random time distribution. A practical instrument has been constructed in which the mean output pulse rates are accurately defined at rates between 100 and 10000 pulses per sec. Much lower rates may be obtained if required.
