Abstract
The present invention relates to an optically programmable electric generator of arbitrary time profiles, which comprises a first ultrahigh frequency triggering line (10) and a second ultrahigh frequency discharge line (12) resistively coupled, by points, the first line being triggered by a voltage transition of duration less than one nanosecond, at least one point being taken off from the first line (10) by at least one photoconductor in variable resistance mode, directly coupled to the second line, illuminated by a programmable light source (13). A resistive load is connected at the output (S) of this generator.

An optically programmable electric generator of arbitrary time profiles, characterised in that it comprises a first ultrahigh frequency triggering line (10) and a second ultrahigh frequency discharge line (12) resistively coupled, by points;
- in that the first line is triggered by a voltage transition of duration less than one nanosecond;
- in that at least one point is taken off from the first line by at least one photoconductor (11) in variable resistance mode, directly coupled to the second line, illuminated by a programmable light source (13), a resistive load being connected at the output (S1, S2) of this generator.
