Abstract
By controlling the illumination intensity along a sample of photoconducting GaAs, the point of nucleation of the high field domain has been varied. When a very thin line shadow was projected on an illuminated sample, the oscillation frequency corresponded to the distance between the shadow and the anode and could be varied continuously over a range of about 5:1 by varying the position of the shadow along the sample.Keywords
