“…While PCSS devices have seen significant research across different material bases, optical bipolar PSDs have shown promise for power-electronic applications [75]. This encompasses light-triggered thyristor (LTT) [76]. One of the key advantages of the LTT is the high electrical gain of the thyristor that significantly reduces the requirement for optical power, which has economy of scale implications for WBG optical thyristors [77] However, the high gain of the LTT comes at the price of slow turn of time since the thyristor is a latched device.…”

This article provides an overview of power semiconductor devices (PSDs) for the distributed energy resource (DER) system. To begin with, an overview of electrically triggered silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) devices followed by a brief narration of ultrawide bandgap (UWBG) PSDs and, subsequently, an overview of optically activated PSDs encompassing photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS) and optical bipolar PSDs are provided. Finally, an overview of PSD packaging and reliability is captured.

“…With regard to other optically-activated lateral and vertical p-i-n diodes, a few have been reported in [24], [25]. Most of these devices are targeted for low-frequency but high-power applications (e.g., pulsed-power switching or microwave power generation).…”
