虽然人们对空心阴极放电的基本性质已有70多年的了解[1]，但这些放电的应用一直相当有限。它们主要用作发射效率高、功耗低、多普勒加宽线宽小的光谱光源[2]。近年来，由于空心阴极放电可能作为高功率开关的应用，人们对其重新产生了相当大的兴趣。它们使用冷阴极，在各种工作条件下已切换到100kA以上，显示出超过2×1012A/S Di/dt，并实现了亚纳秒的抖动[3]。
Although the basic properties of hollow cathode discharges have been known for over 70 years [1], the applications of these discharges have been rather limited. They have been used mainly as a spectroscopic light source of high emission efficiency, low power consumption and small doppler broadened line width [2]. Recently, there has been considerable renewed interest in hollow cathode discharges because of their possible application as high power switches. They utilize a cold cathode and under various operating conditions have switched over 100 kA, demonstrated over 2x1012 A/s dI/dt, and achieved subnanosecond jitter [3].
