Abstract
An optically controlled oscillator circuit having an oscillator field eff transistor (FET) and having a separate light sensing quench FET. The optically controlled oscillator circuit includes, a light source, a control connected to the light source, an optic fiber having an end coupled to the light source, a quench field effect transistor (FET) coupled to a second end of the optic fiber, an oscillator FET, each FET being a GaAs multi-finger FET having drains and sources and gates, and a circuit connected in series circuit through the drains and sources of the quench FET and oscillator FET across a source of positive voltage.
