摘要：

We describe the interaction of light pulses with a GaAs/AlAs resonant tunneling structure. We demonstrate that light with an average power of less than 10-mu-W can induce switching, and show that switching is accompanied by a change in the optical absorption. These results suggest a number of new applications for the resonant tunneling structure, including light-by-light switching.
