TLDR
In this paper, a new approach to controlling millimeter wave propagation with light was demonstrated, where phase shifts as high as 300°/cm of 94 GHz millimeter waves were observed accompanied by less than 1 dB insertion loss.
Abstract
We have demonstrated a new approach to controlling millimeter wave propagation with light. Phase shifts as high as 300°/cm of 94‐GHz millimeter waves were observed accompanied by less than 1 dB insertion loss. A straightforward model was found to account in detail for the observed behavior.

Optical control of millimeter-wave propagation in dielectric waveguides

TL;DR: In this article, a new method for controlling millimeter-wave propagation in semiconductor waveguides-optical control was demonstrated, and phase shifts as high as 300°/cm at 94 GHz were observed accompanied by less than 1 dB insertion loss.

Dynamic non-linear optical processes in semiconductors

TL;DR: In this article, active non-linear optical effects in semiconductors are reviewed, which arise because of the dynamics of excited populations of charge carriers temporarily created in otherwise empty states when a beam of laser radiation is incident on the material.

Picosecond microwave pulse generation

TL;DR: In this paper, a laser-activated photoconductive switch was used to generate X-band microwave pulses and these pulses were used to observe the microwave reflection from optically excited germanium.

Optically controlled phase shifter and phased array antenna for use therewith

TL;DR: In this article, a phase shifter is used to steer a phased array antenna using optically controlled phase shifters using much less controlling energy than using a conventional phase shift operator.

Metal-clad planar dielectric waveguide for integrated optics*

TL;DR: In this article, a metal-clad four-layer thin-film optical waveguide is presented, where the authors calculate the guided-wave losses as functions of isolation-layer thickness, type of metal, and isolation layer refractive index, and find that the TM polarized waves exhibit an absorption peak as a function of isolation thickness.
