This paper explores a mechanism liable to induce long duration pulses (>100us) in these devices, which is eventually demonstrated using a pulsed laser facility. Data issued from these tests helps to understand how the electrical network parameters as well as the non-idealities of the devices affect the characteristics of the transients. Finally, this phenomenon is investigated in similar structures with identical purpose. %K Laser tests %K Long duration pulses %K Peak detector effect %K Power electronics %K Single event %K Single event transients %K Shunt voltage regulators %~ Universidad de Cádiz
