Abstract :
The device is a coplanar surface transmission line in which the centre strip is broken by a gap which is short circuited by the first laser pulse. The second laser pulse, of the same wavelength, optically delayed, short circuits the centre strip to the ground plane. Turn-on and turnoff times are a few picoseconds.
