Research abstract
An optically controlled electric power switch will be designed, built and tested that is compatible with "Fly-by-Light" fiber optic networks. This switch will operate in the 600 to 1200 volt, 100 Amp power range, be controllable with the low light levels received in a fiber optic WDM channel with VCSEL light source, operate at high temperatures and withstand extremely high levels of EMI. The optical wavelength range will be from approximately 800 to 1800 nanometers. Wide bandgap semiconductors used in conjunction with carbon nanotubes form the basis for this design.
