Abstract

In this paper, the microwave characteristics of typical photosensitive material InP under different light irradiation are studied. The measurement sensor is a reflection-type hemispherical quasi-optical resonator with an operating frequency range from 20 to 40 GHz, an operating mode of TEM00q, and a quality factor of 18,000 or more. For the short-time irradiation experiment, the variation of InP microwave characteristics with the irradiation power of 20 mW, 60 mW, 100 mW, and 200 mW, is studied by frequency-domain and time-domain scanning methods, respectively. The measurement results indicate that the microwave characteristics of InP change significantly even under weak light irradiation. Taking 100 mW and 200 mW irradiation power as examples, the long-time irradiation experiment performed on InP lasting 1.5 min is carried out. The measurement result curves clearly show the influence of the thermal and non-thermal effects on the InP microwave characteristics at the instant of the monochrome light source opening and closing and during irradiation. Furthermore, the temperature distribution of InP during 200 mW irradiation is real-time imaged by a thermal infrared imager to verify the existence of thermal effect during irradiation. The measurement results are in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.

Graphic Abstract

The microwave properties of InP under short-time and long-time irradiation are analyzed by frequency-domain and time-domain scanning methods, especially the effects of thermal and non-thermal on microwave properties during long-term irradiation.
