W-band phase shifter based on optimized optically controlled carbon nanotube layer

QC 20171117
Phase shifting in a dielectric rod waveguide (DRW), loaded with carbon nanotube (CNT) layers of different thickness, was studied experimentally under light illumination in the frequency range of 75-110 GHz. The dependence of efficiency of the phase shifting, in terms of phase shift per light intensity and millimeter wave attenuation, on the optical transparency of the CNT-layer is investigated in this paper. The best result, a phase shifter of 0-15° with less than 0.1 dB additional signal loss in the W-band was achieved for a 95% transparent CNT layer at 23 mW/mm2 light intensity of a tungsten halogen lamp (main radiation spectrum is 550-680 nm). The overall insertion loss of the phase shifter including two DRW tapering sections serving as transitions to rectangular waveguides are 3 to 5 dB in the W-band, about 2 dB is attributed to the CNT DRW section. This comprises, for the first time, an optically-controlled CNT-based DRW phase shifter with phase shift and insertion loss levels suitable for practical applications.
