well in a standing wave" Appl. Phys. Lett. 64, 134-136 (1994). We
present an example of a new class of optoelectronic devices realized by placing thin
absorbers in a standing wave. Using quantum wells as absorbers and measuring the
photocurrent from each of them separately it is possible to realize devices which
accomplish complex tasks like separately detecting more than one wavelength at the same
time or measuring the wavelength of a quasimonochromatic beam. In this letter we
demonstrate a wavelength-selective detector based on a single quantum well. It detects at
850 nm with a bandwidth
