An optically controlled microwave attenuator is described. The bulk semiconductor properties of cadmium selenide are demonstrated effectively at Ku band frequencies. The device is configured monolithically with a low capacitance resistive channel. Electrical resonance is achieved with symmetric inductance loops which bridge the channel ends.
