"Or, a pair of thyratrons.  One as a  series switch to turn ON with a
shunt 
tailbiter to turn the pulse off."

	"Way back when" HP built a pulse generator with 3C45 thyratrons using
that principle and got rise and fall times of less than  20 nsec with
100 volt+ pulses.  Used a variable delay between the trigger of the "ON"
thyratron and the "OFF" one.
