Summary	Monitoring light emission from a power transistor switch (GaN or SiC) to measure the on-state current and an accurate measurement of the device junction temperature. At the same time, measuring light emission could determine the defects of the device over long-term and thus provide a state of health for prognosis and improved reliability to prevent catastrophe system failures, and efficient maintenance of power systems
