Abstract
A well having optically controlled switching, the well including a power cable run along a tubular string in a borehole, one or more downhole devices attached to the tubular string, one or more optically-controlled switches arranged downhole, where each switch is coupled between the power cable and one of the one or more downhole devices to enable or disable a flow of power to the downhole device, and a switch controller coupled to the one or more optically-controlled switches via an optical fiber, where each of the one or more optically-controlled switches are independently controllable.
