Optoelectronic Techniques for Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Engineering (Artech House Optoelectronics Library)

Explores the synthesis of optical and electronic techniques for the generation, measurement, and control of microwave and millimeter-wave signals. Introduces the physical principles and practical techniques underlying ultrafast optical pulses, experimental methods for measuring such pulses, processes such as photoconductive switches and nonlinear optical wave mixing, and reviews some major applications such as non-invasive circuit testing and high-speed electronic devices. For scientists and engineers in either optics or electronics who know little about the other field, and beginning students in either field. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
