ABSTRACT:
An optical controlled resonant tunneling oscillator utilizing an oscillation variation characteristic of a resonant tunneling oscillator in accordance with a negative differential resistance, a series resistance and a static capacitance varied with an intensity of light when the light is incident on a resonant tunneling device having a double barrier quantum well structure and a method for fabricating the same are disclosed. The oscillator can modulate the frequency 2 or 3 levels in response to an intensity of an incident light as compared with the method of a conventioal photoelectric system that modulates the frequency in response to ON/OFF of an electric signal, thereby simplifying the system. The oscillator controls the resonant tunneling at the high speed by light, thereby enabling processing a signal of tens to hundreds GHz.
