1. An optoelectronic switch, comprising:

  • two photodiodes such that the anode of one photodiode is electrically connected via a first conductor to the cathode of the second photodiode, and the cathode of the first photodiode is electrically connected via a second conductor to the anode of the second photodiode, wherein the voltage-phase of the first conductor and the second conductor of the optoelectronic switch is a function of which of the photodiodes of the optoelectronic switch receives a greater amount of light illumination.
