Packaging of optically controlled microwave switches
Overview
| Title: | Packaging of optically controlled microwave switches |
| Duration: | 3 years from October 2009 |
| Sponsor: | Departmental Studentship |
| Keywords: | microwave switching, optical trigger, silicon |
Abstract
The use of optical power to generate conductivity in semiconductors for switches was pioneered at Loughborough. This project takes this concept and will develop a packaging system that can be used to provide an “off the shelf” type component with the optical fibre included in the package.
