Description
Vertical Photoconductive Semiconductor Switches can be designed to support numerous filaments that simultaneously conduct current. A two dimensional array of current channels can be lithographically patterned on the surface of a substrate to achieve significant power scaling. One of the challenged is coupling the optical trigger signal efficiently into the filament apertures. Nanohmics will design PCSS devices with durable structured optical apertures to reduce Fresnel reflection loss and microlens arrays to improve coupling efficiency.
