Tapered coplanar waveguides with integrated photoconductors were designed, fabricated, and measured, with pulsed transmission results comparing well with High Frequency Structure Simulator simulations which predict increased confinement and electric field concentration in the tapered region. Devices made with titanium/gold metallisation were used to demonstrate transmission and confinement, while the magnetoresistive properties of devices with cobalt/copper multilayers were used to demonstrate the field concentration. In the latter case, a mathematical framework was developed to understand the relationship between tapering effects and the picosecond magnetoresistance response.
