The optical tuning sensitivity is attributed to C/sub gs/ variations with light, resulting from an increase in the effective space charge density in the gate depletion layer (attributed to hole trapping). Analysis of the oscillator starting condition for the three oscillator circuits is in qualitative agreement with the measured frequency sensitivity, using C/sub gs/ variations with light measured at 1MHz.","PeriodicalId":120372,"journal":{"name":"1981 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Symposium Digest","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1981-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132885385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
