Abstract
An optoelectronic technique suitable for the control of microwave circuits has been demonstrated. using a coplanar waveguide-photoconductive switch (CPW-PCS), the RF impedance is varied by using a laser diode to create a conductive plasma in the switch gap. With a fiber pigtailed AlGaAs laser diode and a silicon CPW-PCS, 30 dB of RF attenuation was achieved with a laser peak power of 375 mW. Intensity saturation of the Si:CPW-PCS was also observed and characterized to improve the attenuator performance.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
