Abstract

The GaAs photoconductive semiconductor switch is an important device in the measurement of the signal of ultra high-speed. In this paper, the transmission model of transient signals on GaAs PCSS is given. Based on the testing result of delay-time-modulation method, the relationship between signal amplitude and the form of connection mode is analyzed and discussed. The conclusion is that the pulse width of output transient signal is decided by the width of laser pulse and the carrier life and the key point of getting the transient signal is the coupling of capacity.
