Abstract :
We present electro-optic images of GaAs high-voltage photoconductive switches utilizing the electro-optic effect of the semi-insulating GaAs substrate. Experimental methodology for obtaining the images is described along with a self-calibrating data reduction algorithm. Use of the technique for observing fabrication defects is shown
