“…The fast-pulse generator shown in figure 4(a) [7] was used to investigate the response of the new probe to a typical 500 kV pulsed waveform. The 1 µF capacitor is charged to 32 kV and discharged into the primary winding of the transformer, with the current rising to 30 kA in 1 µs.…”

This paper describes the use of an assembly of electro-optic components and a high-performance capacitive voltage divider in a novel voltage-measurement probe for use in short-duration 500 kV pulsed-power situations, where conventional probes are unsuitable. Complete electrical isolation is provided between the high-voltage circuit and the recording oscilloscope. Experimental results confirm a predicted rise-time of less than about 3 ns, which is significantly better than that of high-quality 90 MHz bandwidth commercially available probes for the same level of voltage.
