Abstract
A novel heterojunction acoustic charge transport device includes a transducer fabricated on a GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction material that launches surface acoustic waver (SAW) along a transport channel. The device is characterized by a photodiode configured adjacent to the channel on the substrate to receive a modulated optical beam. An electrical signal equivalent is provided to a Schottky electrode at the end of the transport channel modulating the charge propagated by the surface acoustic wave. The modulated signal is output at a distal end of the transport channel.
