  • Abstract
    We report the first electro-optic sampling measurements made directly within an integrated circuit. Using the electro-optic effect in GaAs, we have noninvasively probed the internal voltage waveforms of a 2¿12 GHz GaAs FET travelling-wave amplifier integrated circuit driven by a microwave signal source.
