摘要: The delay time between the beginning of optical illumination and onset switching in transient response semi-insulating GaAs high-power high-speed photoconductive devices is discussed. field- laser-energy-dependent absorption coefficient used to explain experimentally observed open-state-field, time. Calculations are shown agree with experimental results. >
