3D photo-induced load modeling for optically controlled microwave microstrip line.

This paper deals with the 3D modeling of the photo-induced load created by a laser that illuminates a semiconductor substrate. This independent optical command allows us to change the microwave behavior of the microstrip device. We present a 3D-equivalent microwave model for the photo-injection in terms of equivalent conductivity plasma. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
