Abstract :
This paper reports on the optical phase and gain control of a GaAs MMIC phase shifter and amplifier with applications for active phased array antennas. Phase shifts of 40 degrees were obtained with 50¿w of optical power and amplifier gain was controlled 15 dB with 250¿w of light intensity.
