  We have analyzed theoretically the photoassisted tunneling current through a
superlattice in the presence of an AC potential. For that purpose we have
developed a new model to calculate the sequential resonant currrent trhough a
superlattice based in the TRansfer Hamiltonian Method. The tunneling current
presents new features due to new effective tunneling chanels coming from the
photoside bands induced by the AC field. Our theoretical results are in good
agreement with the available experimental evidence.
