Abstract

Progress in the application of ultrafast optics to microwave and millimeter-wave techniques using picosecond photoconductors is reviewed. The generation, control, and characterization of pulsed and high-frequency waves using a frozen wave generator, an impulse excited resonator, and a spectral filter are discussed. A time-domain network analyzer which uses optoelectronic techniques for on-wafer monolithic microwave and millimeter-wave integrated-circuit measurements is described
