Design considerations for magnetic field generators for future switching applications

Abstract

Widespread adoption of Magnetic Field Generators (MFG) will require most electro-optical systems to incorporate high current devices, thereby demanding decreased power consumption due to loss reduction. Recent progress in magnetic field generator typologies has shown ways of reducing form factor while meeting better performance in terms of max current and magnetic field level based on selected transistor technologies. However, developments in the standardization of MFGs need to be considered for optoelectronic industrial-scale applications. This work describes a strategy for identifying the optimum condition for a high magnetic field, form factors contributing to power consumption, and the feasibility of such magneto optical.
