Radio frequency/microwave-directed energy sources using wide bandgap SiC photoconductive semiconductors have attracted much attention due to their unique advantages of high-power output and multi-parameter adjustable ability. Over the past several years, benefitting from the sustainable innovations in laser technology and the significant progress in materials technology, megawatt-class output power electrical pulses with a flexible frequency in the P and L microwave wavebands have been achieved by photoconductive semiconductor devices. Here, we mainly summarize and review the recent progress of the high-power photonic microwave generation based on the SiC photoconductive semiconductor devices in the linear modulation mode, including the mechanism, system architecture, critical technology, and experimental demonstration of the proposed high-power photonic microwave sources. The outlooks and challenges for the future of multi-channel power synthesis development of higher power photonic microwave using wide bandgap photoconductors are also discussed.

A novel high-power AlGaN/GaN heterojunction lateral photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS) based on the SiC substrate is proposed, which achieves high dark-state resistance characteristics by groove etching. Under the action of biased electric field and incident laser, a high concentration of two-dimensional electron gas is formed at the heterojunction interface. The photo-generated free carriers transport along the heterojunction interface, which improves the utilization efficiency of photo-generated carriers. Moreover, the simulation of the current density distribution of the PCSS provides theoretical support for this phenomenon. Compared with the conventional GaN PCSS, the power capacity and conduction characteristics are further improved. The test results show that the output current of the device increases significantly after the introduction of the AlGaN/GaN heterojunction. At the biased voltage of ∼34 kV, the maximum output current of the AlGaN/GaN PCSS reaches 205 A.
