Abstract :
We present a direct, internal electro-optic probing technique using a CW DFB laser diode. Optical Fabry-Perot resonance offers an immediate AM electro-optic signal. No polarization treatment of the probe beam is needed and a simplified fiber reinjection set-up is realized. During the scanning of MMICs, active wavelength control provides optimum measurement sensitivity.
