Research Index / Ultrafast Technology / Sensitivity-Testing

We have demonstrated that our fiber-coupled, micromachined, photoconductive sampling probes can be utilized for in-situ testing and characterization of digital-microwave integrated circuits.  Waveforms at the internal nodes of several GaAs and InP circuits have been captured to observe the circuit response when a signal was generated through illumination of a single transistor with a short laser pulse.  The embodiment emulates disturbances in satellite circuits caused by cosmic radiation and will aid in the development of radiation-hard microelectronics.
