Here's the first book devoted entirely to the theory and applications of optical control of microwave devices. Optical Control of Microwave Devices discusses in detail circuit aspects at microwave frequencies of optical solid state devices, such as laser diodes, photodetectors and modulators. This sourcebook with its 111 helpful illustrations provides a comprehensive view of possible applications of techniques, as well advantages of optical control of microwave devices.
Introduction. Laser Diodes. Electro-Optic Modulators. Photodetectors. RF Fiber Optic Link for Analog Signal Transmission. Optoelectronic Switching and Gating. Optoelectronic Switch Matrix. Optoelectronic Switching and Modulation of Oscillators. Index.
