Abstract

It is shown experimentally and theoretically that the decay time of the current generated in a photoconductive switch can be controlled and significantly reduced, by the application of a strong magnetic field (μ₀B > 1), without affecting its conductance during the illumination state. The application of the magnetic field has the added benefit of leading to a substantial reduction of the switch dark current.
