An optically controlled oscillator utilizes a HEMT or a PIN diode as a photodetector and either a HEMT or HBT as an active inductor. The optically controlled HEMT active inductor provides a means for tuning the frequency of the oscillator. The optical receiver includes an optically tunable active inductor using a photodetector which includes a resonant tank circuit of an electronic oscillator to allow both optical/digital quench and unquench of an oscillator or digital AM detection with an improved signal to noise ratio, or optical FM modulation and analog AM detection by tuning/shifting the frequency of the oscillation through the detection of the optical light intensity. |
