10 June 1994Optically controlled microwave oscillators fabricated using GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) with transparent indium-tin-oxide (ITO) emitter contacts
An optical GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor technology has been developed using transparent indium-tin-oxide emitter contacts for unobstructed through-the-top optical access. Optical tuning and injection locking has been observed in 6 GHz microwave oscillators made with this device. Optical tuning ranges up to 25 MHz and locking ranges up to 2.5 MHz have been demonstrated with the optical injection of RF power at 30 dB below the oscillator power level.
