Abstract :
The influence of optical radiation on the performance of a synchronized microwave Gunn-diode oscillator in the coherent signals subtraction mode has been described theoretically and investigated experimentally. The high sensitivity of the oscillator characteristics to the change of the optical intensity affecting the semiconductor diode structure has been shown. It is suggested to use this mode for the creation of optoelectronic microwave systems with the controlled amplitude and phase of the output signal and for the high-accuracy indication of optical radiation.
