用光导半导体开关产生高功率微波

High power microwave generation using photoconductive semiconductor switches

由于光导半导体开关（PCSS）皮秒闭合和无抖动的优异特性，光控这种开关可产生高功率微波。本文描述了PCSS的三种工作模式及四种类型光作用微波源，并把它们与一般高功率微波源作了比较，最后，讨论了这类微波源的性能限制和发展前景。

Optically controlled semiconductor switches can be used to generate high power microwave, based on its unique picosecond close and jitter - free characteristics. This paper describes three operation modes of the PCSS (photoconductive semiconductor switch) and four types of optically activated microwave sources and compared the optically activated microwave sources with conventional microwave sources. Finally the permance limitation and future development of these microwave sources are discussed.
