    摘要: Improved heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) are disclosed. Inventive devices can attain high cut-off frequency (f.sub.T), exemplarily 80 GHz or higher, and high DC current gain (.beta.), exemplarily 25 or higher. The devices exhibit lateral scaling, permitting reduction in emitter stripe width without unacceptable decrease in .beta.. Exemplarily the stripe width is 1 .mu.m or less. The inventive HBTs are hot electron devices, with the hot electrons in the base region being spatially confined such that relatively few electrons reach the surface of the extrinsic base region. The relatively low bulk and surface recombination rate in the base of inventive HBTs is an important aspect of the invention and makes possible devices having relatively high .beta. and low power consumption. Appropriate choice of base material, namely, a semiconductor material having relatively low intrinsic surface recombination velocity, can result in further reduction of surface recombination, as can, for instance, the use of an appropriate non-alloyed metal base contact. Appropriate choice of collector material can result in improved ballistic transport through the collector depletion region, and novel selection criteria are disclosed. InP, InAs, and In.sub.0.53 Ga.sub.0.47 As are exemplary materials that meet these criteria. Use of a highly doped collector contact region, with dopant level within a relatively narrow concentration range, can also lead to improved device behavior, as can the use of a compound emitter that comprises one or more appropriately placed thin undoped heteroepitaxial layers.

    摘要: A radiofrequency (rf) signal-processing device offers the possibility of high bandwidth operation. The disclosed device applies principles of microwave photonics and Linear Amplification based on Nonlinear Components (LINC). For some applications, the device may be embodied in an rf amplifier or rf transmitter. In an embodiment, an optical phase modulator is configured to receive an optical carrier signal as input, and further configured so that, when driven by an rf modulation signal, it will produce a complementary pair of optical signals as output. Each of a pair of detectors is configured to convert a respective one of the complementary optical signals to an rf signal. An rf combiner is configured to add the converted radiofrequency signals from the detectors to form an output signal.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a microwave photonic band-stop (MPBS) filter uses an electrical input signal to drive an optical Mach-Zehnder modulator. A modulated optical carrier produced by the modulator is applied to an optical filter having at least two tunable spectral attenuation bands that are located substantially symmetrically on either side of the carrier frequency. The resulting filtered optical signal is applied to an optical-to-electrical (O/E) converter to produce an electrical output signal.
