Lightwave technology applied to microwaves in eastern europe

Abstract

The research and development results achieved in Eastern Europe in the field of lightwave‐microwave combined technology are reported. Optical control of FETs, amplifiers, and oscillators; microwave modulation of lasers; lightwave‐microwave phase detection, conversion, and synchronization; and optical control of phase‐locked oscillators are surveyed. Application possibilities in beam forming of phased arrays, multichannel TV transmission and personal communications networks are reviewed. © 1993 John Wiley & sons, Inc.

Harmonic-balance analysis of optically injection locked microwave FET oscillators

“…1) The intrinsic gate voltage VG in the drain current equation [6] is replaced by VG + Vph(L), where the photovoltage Vph is related to the light intensity by the empirical equation [7] vph(L) = Cph LP (3) and Cph, p are model parameters.…”
