Abstract

The reverse dynamic current-voltage (I–V) characteristics of a high performance MBE grown AIGaAs/GaAs based heterostructure optothyristor have been studied for high power pulsed switching applications. Switched current and dissipated energy per switching as a function of the blocking voltage are presented. Possible reverse switching mechanisms are also discussed in terms of the novel device structure.
