Abstract
Performance of a dye laser triggered spark gap is described with a triggering threshold of only 2 kW peak power and 5 μJ pulse energy. This spark gap is used as a switching element in a nitrogen laser resulting in a delay between dye laser and nitrogen laser emission of only 20 nsec and a subnanosecond jitter.Keywords
