TLDR
In this paper, a switch made up of four avalanche transistors is described, which produces 80V across a 50Ω load in less than 1 ns, and the jitter with respect to the trigger pulse is less than 30ps.Abstract:

Nanosecond Pulse Transformers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a transmission-line transformer for impedance matching, pulse inverting, and dc isolation within the range of about 30 to 300 ohms with rise times of less than 0.5 × 10-9 seconds, and magnetizing time constants in excess of 5 × 10 -7 seconds.

A fast risetime avalanche transistor pulse generator for driving injection lasers
J.P. Hansen,W.A. Schmidt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a circuit was described in which avalanche transistors in parallel generate high-current, fast ristime pulses suitable for driving injection lasers and an adjustable biasing technique was used to make possible the simultaneous avalanche of unmatched transistors.
