Abstract
Various embodiments provide materials and methods for an optically pumped switch device, an optically pumped reconfigurable antenna system (OPRAS), and their related antenna devices. In one embodiment, the switch devices and the antenna devices can have a photoconductive cell. The photoconductive cell can include a semiconductive substrate that is conductive to reflect a radio frequency (RF) signal in response to an optical signal.
