Abstract
When a photoconducting antenna array is illuminated by a subpicosecond laser pulse, the spatial profile of the applied bias field is mapped onto the temporal waveform of the radiated electric field. This property allows the array to function as a multiplexer, in which parallel electronic data are converted to a sequence of radiated pulses.Keywords
