Recent measurements of photon tunneling through individual subwavelength pinholes in a gold film covered with a layer of polydiacetylene (Phys. Rev. Letters 88, 187402 (2002)) provided strong indication of "photon blockade" effect similar to Coulomb blockade phenomenon observed in single-electron tunneling experiments. Here we report first observation of photon tunneling been blocked (gated) by light at a different wavelength. This observation suggests possibility of building new class of photon tunneling gating devices for all-optical signal processing.
