Abstract

We have measured the current-voltage (I-V) characteristic of semiconductor superlattices in the presence of intense terahertz electric fields produced by free-electron lasers. The nonlinear I-V curves exhibit new structure that we attribute to photon-mediated sequential resonant tunneling. This tunneling process consists of well to well sequential tunneling into photon sidebands induced by the terahertz electric fields.
