Zusammenfassung:Theoretical and experimental investigations of the DC and RF performance of depletion mode Al/sub 0.3/Ga/sub 0.7/As/GaAs HEMTs (high electron mobility transistors) under optical illumination are presented. The photoconductive effect which increases the two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) channel electron concentration and the photovoltaic effect in the gate junction are considered. The optical tuning of a 2-GHz HEMT oscillator and the optical control of the gain of a 2-6 GHz HEMT amplifier are presented, and potential applications are described.< >
