AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing optical signal triggered switches, photoresistors have low sensitivity and integration, making it difficult to meet the requirements of low control complexity, low cost, reliability, and high frequency range.

Method used

A voltage control circuit is formed by using a single-photon avalanche diode (SPAD) and a quenching resistor. The SPAD breaks down and conducts when triggered by an optical signal, and the quenching resistor reduces the voltage drop after conduction to disconnect the circuit, thus realizing an optical signal triggered switch.

Benefits of technology

It improves the sensitivity and integration of optical signal trigger switches, adapts to a wide range of optical frequencies, and features high sensitivity, accuracy, integration and stability. It is suitable for operating conditions from -40 degrees Celsius to 125 degrees Celsius.
