  • Abstract
    Theoretical work for the DC characteristics of depletion mode Al/sub 0.3/Ga/sub 0.7/As/GaAs HEMTs under optical illumination is presented. Both the photoconductive effect, which increases the 2-DEG channel electron concentration, and the photovoltaic effect in the gate junction are discussed. Analysis of the effect of optical control on the gain of a HEMT amplifier and the optical tuning of a HEMT oscillator are further described.
