Development of the device brings researchers a big step closer to higher speed electronics and higher performance electrical and optical integrated circuits.The mixing device accepts two electrical inputs and produces an optical signal that was measured at frequencies of up to 22.7 gigahertz. The frequency range was limited by the bandwidth of the detector employed in the measurements, not by the transistor device.“…
