Abstract
The author reviews guided wave phenomena in a transmission line on a heterostructure semiconductor in which slow wave propagation is generated by optical illumination. The device consists of a heterostructure in which a GaAs layer is sandwiched by GaAlAs layers. A typical planar transmission line such as a coplanar waveguide is formed on the top surface. Experimental results are given. The measurement was done at illumination intensities of 3.2 mW/cm/sup 2/, 32.0 mW/cm/sup 2/, and 63.7 mW/cm/sup 2/. A maximum relative phase shift of 60 degrees at 9.5 GHz was observed for an illumination of 3.2 mW/cm/sup 2/. The present work is directed toward the development of an optically controlled phase shifter in a form compatible with monolithic microwave integrated circuit techniques.<>
