Research abstract
A NOVEL INTEGRATED OPTICS DEVICE WHICH COMBINES A WAVEGUIDE MACH-ZEHNDER INTERFEROMETER WITH A GUNN OSCILLATOR IS BEING DEVELOPED. ONE POTENTIAL APPLICATION OF THE DEVICE IS AS AN OPTICAL CLOCK GENERATOR WITH SELF-EXCITED OSCILLATIONS OF LIGHT PROPAGATING THROUGH THE DEVICE. A THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE UNDERLYING PHENOMENA WILL BE DEVELOPED, AND A PROOF-OF-CONCEPT EXPERIMENT WILL DEMONSTRATE THE DEVICE'S FEASIBILITY. VARIOUS SEMICONDUCTOR MATERIALS WILL BE STUDIED FOR THEIR POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS IN THE DEVICE. UP TO 100 GHZ CLOCK FREQUENCY IS ANTICIPATED AFTER THE FULL-SCALE DEVELOPMENT OF THE DEVICE.
