Abstract :
High temperature superconducting photomixers have been fabricated using simple lithographic techniques. Their performance matches that expected from a hot electron model. These devices may provide the basis for optoelectronic phase distribution between receivers for astronomy and remote sensing. They may also bring significant benefits to simplify RF imaging technologies by providing a simple route to integrated, optically driven, phased arrays
