Optoelectronic switching in a stub transmission line
TLDR
In this article, optoelectronic switching in a pulseforming microstrip line was demonstrated, which utilizes the energy in a laser pulse for triggering, and pulses 1 ns in width and 1 2 V in amplitude were produced using a 10ns dye laser pulse of 1 kW amplitude.Abstract:
We have demonstrated optoelectronic switching in a pulse‐forming microstrip line, which utilizes the energy in a laser pulse for triggering. Electrical pulses 1 ns in width and of 1–2 V in amplitude were produced using a 10‐ns dye laser pulse of 1‐kW amplitude. The possibilities of further pulse shortening appear very promising.read more
