  We report on a direct visualization of coherent destruction of tunneling
(CDT) of light waves in a double well system which provides an optical analog
of quantum CDT as originally proposed by Grossmann, Dittrich, Jung, and Hanggi
[Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 67}, 516 (1991)]. The driven double well, realized by
two periodically-curved waveguides in an Er:Yb-doped glass, is designed so that
spatial light propagation exactly mimics the coherent space-time dynamics of
matter waves in a driven double-well potential governed by the Schr\"{o}dinger
equation. The fluorescence of Er ions is exploited to image the spatial
evolution of light in the two wells, clearly demonstrating suppression of light
tunneling for special ratios between frequency and amplitude of the driving
field.
