通过等离子体建模仿真及物理实验结合的方式验证了激光触发伪火花开关的可行性。分别使用波长266 nm和532 nm的激光，对激光触发伪火花开关的最低激光触发能量、阳极着火延迟时间和时间跳动三项参数进行测试。在非聚焦模式下，仅调整激光能量，测得开关在波长266 nm激光触发下，最低触发能量为15 mJ，该触发能量下，阳极着火延迟时间约为340 ns，时间跳动约为40 ns；在波长532 nm激光触发下，最低触发能量为83 mJ，该触发能量下，阳极着火延迟时间约为420 ns，时间跳动约为60 ns。在维持实验平台不变的情况下，仅对入射激光进行聚焦，测得波长266 nm激光触发下，最低触发能量为4 mJ，当触发能量8 mJ时，阳极着火延迟时间190 ns，开关时间跳动小于1 ns；波长532 nm激光触发下，最低触发能量为6 mJ，当激光触发能量为8 mJ时，阳极着火延迟时间240 ns，开关时间跳动小于1 ns。

Laser-triggered pseudospark switches, also called back-lighted thyratrons (BLTs), are low pressure, high voltage, high current glow-mode switches The feasibility of BLTs is verified. The laser beams with wavelengths of 266 nm and 532 nm were used in the test. In the non-focused mode, the minimum trigger energy for 266 nm laser is 15 mJ, the anode ignition delay time is about 340 ns, and the time jitter is about 40 ns. The minimum trigger energy for 532 nm laser is 83 mJ, the anode ignition delay time is about 420 ns, and the time jitter is about 60 ns. In the focused mode, the minimum trigger energy for 266 nm laser is 4 mJ, when the laser trigger energy is 8 mJ, the anode delay time is 190 ns, the jitter is less than 1 ns. The minimum trigger energy for 532 nm laser is 6 mJ, when the laser trigger energy is 8 mJ, the anode delay time is than 240 ns, the jitter is less than 1 ns. The methods to further reduce the energy of the laser trigger will be studied in the future.
