Krehl, P.P.Krehl2022-03-082022-03-081993https://publica.fraunhofer.de/handle/publica/302801The description refers to a spark light source with an ultra-short flash duration using creeping discharges or creeping sparks switched in series distributed over the surface and generated by impact capacitors. The invention is characterized by the fact that the spark gap is formed as a hybrid spark gap and each hybrid spark gap is composed of a switched spark gap and a creepage spark path switched in series, and that all hybrid spark gaps are supplied simultaneously by means of a high-current capacitor discharge.de608620patent1992-4223457
