Abstract :
A high-speed silicon-on-sapphire photoconductive switch activated by an optical picosecond pulse code is used as a 10 Gbit/s electrical pulse code generator. The optical pulse code is generated by a picosecond pulse train which passes a multiple beam path optical delay line and can be manipulated by spatial filtering.
