Effect of illumination uniformity on GaAs photoconductive switches

The dynamic behavior of a GaAs photoconductive switch was studied with an electro-optic imaging system during the first 2 ns after optical illumination. The switch behavior changed as a function of the spatial distribution of the optical illumination. Symmetric and asymmetric illumination schemes were investigated experimentally with our electro-optic imaging system. The electric fields were significantly enhanced in the regions of low photo-carrier density. Approximately 1 ns after illumination the simple longitudinal variation of the electric field gave way to nonuniform transverse structure. The experimental results were modeled by treating the switch as an integral part of a transmission line consisting of discrete elements. The experimental results matched the predictions of the transmission-line model in terms of the electric-field enhancements and efficiency     

Generation of a variable-width subnanosecond optical pulse

Optical Signal Processor Using Electro-Optic Polymer Waveguides

We have investigated an optical signal processor using electro-optic polymer waveguides operating at a wavelength of 1.55 $mu$m. Due to recent developments, many useful optical devices have become available such as optical filters, modulators, switches, and multiplexers. It will be useful to have a single optical device, which is reconfigurable to implement all of these functions. We call such a device an “optical signal processor,” which will play a similar role to digital signal processors in electrical circuits. We realize such an optical device in a planar lightwave circuit. Since the planar lightwave circuits are based on the multiple interference of coherent light and can be integrated with significant complexity, they have been implemented for various purposes of optical processing such as optical filters. However, their guiding waveguides are mostly passive, and the only viable mechanism to reconfigure their functions is thermal effects, which is slow and cannot be used for high-speed applications such as optical modulators or optical packet switches. On the other hand, electro-optic polymer has a very high electro-optic coefficient and a good velocity match between electrical and optical signals, thus, permitting the creation of high-speed optical devices with high efficiency. Therefore, we have implemented a planar lightwave circuit using the electro-optic polymer waveguides. As a result, the structure is complex enough to generate arbitrary functions and fast enough to obtain high data rates. Using the optical signal processor, we investigate interesting applications including arbitrary waveform generators.
