ABSTRACT:
An opto-electronic converter comprises a mesoscopic resonant cavity constituted by a quantum wire made of a material that is a conductor or a semiconductor and situated between two electron mirrors of nanometer size, the said wire being interrupted over a gap having a width of a few tens of .ANG., into which gap a photosensitive material is inserted, tabs being provided at the ends of said cavity to pass an electrical current.
