A High Frequency Optical Clock Generator

9361403马纳森提出了一种将波导型马赫-曾德尔干涉仪和耿氏振荡器相结合的新型集成光学器件。该装置的一个潜在应用是作为光学时钟发生器，具有通过该装置传播的光的自激振荡。在第一阶段项目中，将建立对潜在现象的理论理解，并将进行概念验证实验，以证明该装置的可行性。人们将研究各种半导体材料在该器件中的潜在应用。该设备在第二阶段全面开发后，预计时钟频率将达到100 GHz。*

9361403 Manasson A novel integrated optics device which combines a waveguide Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a Gunn oscillator is proposed. One potential application of the device is as an optical clock generator with selfexcited oscillations of light propagating through the device. In the Phase I project, 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 in Phase II. ***
