Title :
Optical Probing Of Field Dependent Effects In Gaas Photoconductive Switches
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
An electro-optic probe is used to study the physics of semiconductors subjected to high fields with 100-ps time resolution. A variety of phenomena have been seen in GaAs in photoconductive switches. There appears to be evidence of current channeling in switches operating in lock-on mode. In addition, the affects of contact preparation on switch operation have been investigated.
