The optical control of a microstrip one
dimensional (1-D) photonic bandgap (PBG) structure has been demonstrated over the frequency
range 7-13GHz. A microstrip PBG structure was
fabricated on Duroid 6010 and a high resistivity
photoconductive Si wafer was placed in contact
with the ground plane. With no optical illumination incident upon the Si, the microstrip PBG filtering properties are well-defi ned. When the Si is
illuminated the ltering properties are suppressed.
Under illumination the experimental results display an increase in S21 of 6.5dB and a reduction
in S11 of more than 8dB at the centre frequency of
10GHz. Experimental results are presented alongside those simulated.
