Abstract
A study was made of the microwave oscillaton characteristics of GaAs IMPATT diodes under external optical illumination. It was found that depending on the diode’s bias condition, the frequency of oscillation and the intensity of illumination, the IMPATT microwave output power can be either enhanced or reduced.
