Embodiment Construction
[0031] figure 1 The tunable phase shifter 10 shown in and 2 includes a waveguide 11 having a channel 12 extending along the length of the waveguide 11 and a hole formed in one side 13 of the waveguide 11. The adjustable phase shifter 10 may also include a metal grid 20 to avoid loss caused by the radiation of microwave, millimeter wave or submillimeter wave inside the waveguide to the outside of the waveguide system.
[0032] An optically sensitive layer 18 is arranged within the channel 12 of the waveguide 11 such that it extends substantially across the aperture. A tunable illumination source 14 emits that part of the spectrum of light (infrared, visible, ultraviolet, etc.) that is better absorbed by the photosensitive material in the waveguide. The light source 14 is arranged outside the waveguide such that radiation emitted by the light source 14 impinges on an area of the photosensitive layer 18 exposed by the hole 30 formed in the side wall 13 of the waveguide 11 .
