Abstract

HBTs driven by mixing stabilized lasers and by mode locked semiconductor lasers have been used to make millimeter wave sources. New receiver configurations have been fabricated using edge coupled devices with integrated optical guides formed from InGaAsP quaternary layers and from polyimide. Further integration of our new polymer optical modulators now permits us to make modules suitable for applications in radar and communications.<>
