Delta-doped Schottky diode nonlinear transmission lines for 480-fs, 3.5-V transients

Abstract

Waveforms having 480-fs, 3.5-V transients were generated with a delta-doped GaAs Schottky diode nonlinear transmission line and measured with an on-chip diode sampling bridge at room temperature. Integration of delta-doped diodes with high C(V) nonlinearity and uniform-doped diodes with high speed made possible a transient waveform two times shorter than any previously measured.
