Description
Summary:The availability of an optically controlled integrated microwave source that is compatible with MMIC technology is highly desirable. In this paper, a time-domain energy-based transport model is used for the investigation of the generation of sustained Gunn domains inside a MESFET structure in response to incident light. The time-domain investigations include the effects of optical flux density and biasing conditions on the creation and properties of the induced oscillations.
