Abstract
The response of an asymmetric double barrier resonant device to the passage
of terahertz radiation is discussed. Within the bistable region the radiat
ion is able to turn the current flowing through the system on or off, with
an onset that depends on the bias, the strength of the incoming radiation,
and its frequency.
