Abstract :
A high-speed optical switch based on an ultraviolet sensitive surface channel MESFET fabricated on polycrystalline diamond has been developed. Saturation response to a nanosecond pulsed excimer laser has been demonstrated. Such an opaque gate three-terminal device is suitable for power applications where electromagnetic interference on power control interfaces is not negligible.
