  • Abstract
    This paper describes a scheme for controlling ac power by non-mechanical means. An electronic relay is implemented utilizing photon flux, rather than magnetic flux, as the coupling agency between the input and output terminals. In order to ndnimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), relay actuation is only permitted during the zero voltage excursions of the ac source. A triac functions as the output contacts.
