A new type of an optically controlled tunnelling process in a specially designed Esaki diode is investigated. The additional peak appears due to tunnelling of 2D electrons accumulated at ground state of delta doped layers embedded nearby the p-n junction into the valence band of the p⁺-contact. It i...
