Abstract

Ultrafast switching1 utilizing the picosecond photoconductivity effect2 has many applications including the optoelectronic sampling and characterization of high-speed electronic devices.3 One of the major areas of application that has not been explored is in microwave generation and control. In this paper, we will report two methods of generating high-power microwave pulses: (1) picosecond switching of a frozen-wave generator and (2) impulse excitation of a resonant cavity.
