A new circuit to generate ultra-wide-band pulse for laser pulse shaping used in "Shen Guang 11I" device was presented in this paper. This circuit was based on the characteristics of the step recovery diode (SRD) that the quantity of the carders in the middle layer was controllable, the SRD had little parasitical capacitor and it would cut off rapidly. The pulse generation circuit was designed by combining the SRD in series and parallel. The ultra-wide-band pulse was tested specifically and test results of the practical circuit were given and analyzed in physical level. They were tallied with the theoretical results. This pulse generation circuit could output a pulse with amplitude about 10 V and pulse width about 150 ps. The trigger jitter of the pulse was less than 3 ps, amplitude stability was better than 3%. Thus, this circuit can meet the requirement of the pulse shaping.
