“Light Triggering of Thyristors”
Appropriate illumination of thyristor structure with a laser beam can lead to commutation characteristics improvement. One electron-hole pair is photo-generated within a few femtoseconds, silicon, an indirect band gap photoconductive material, exhibits large absorption depths for 1 μm photons wavelength. The controlling source photon energy needs to be greater...
