The microwave modulation of the interference generated by optical beams that are reflected from the top and bottom surfaces of GaAs substrate adjacent to a microstrip line is studied. The detected modulation is used to directly characterize the electrooptic effect. This optical-microwave intermixing technique is applied to phase-lock a free-running microwave oscillator with picosecond laser pulses. One potential application of this technique is for the optical on-wafer characterization of MMICs (monolithic microwave integrated circuits).< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
