Abstract
The effect of photon injection on a 70-GHz pulsed IMPATT diode was investigated. With the diode mounted in a waveguide oscillator, two useful modes of operation, the "enhancement" mode and the "inhibition" mode, were observed. The enhancement mode permits fast on and off switching (and modulation) of the IMPATT diode oscillator. The inhibition mode permits pulse width control and reduction of undesired intrapulse frequency shift (chirp) .Keywords
