Abstract

A nonlinear optical-microwave interaction is carried out in an uniplanar CPW-to-Slotline ring resonator on the semi-insulating GaAs substrate, in which a Schottky photodetector is monolithically integrated as a coupling gap. When the capacitive reactance of the detetor is modulated, the parametric amplification effect of the mixer occurs. In this device structure, the parametric amplification gain of 20 dB without the applied bias in RF signal is obtained. This microwave optoelectronic mixer can be used in the fiber-optic communication link.
