چکیده

We report the first measurement of the dynamical response of shot noise (measured at frequency omega) of a tunnel junction to an ac excitation at frequency omega0. The experiment is performed in the quantum regime, variant Planck's over 2piomega approximately variant Planck's over 2piomega0>>kBT at very low temperature T=35 mK and high frequency omega0/2pi=6.2 GHz. We observe that the noise responds in phase with the excitation, but not adiabatically. The results are in very good agreement with a prediction based on a new current-current correlator.

Noise Intensity-Intensity Correlations and the Fourth Cumulant of Photo-assisted Shot Noise

We report the measurement of the fourth cumulant of current fluctuations in a tunnel junction under both dc and ac (microwave) excitation. This probes the non-Gaussian character of photo-assisted shot noise. Our measurement reveals the existence of correlations between noise power measured at two different frequencies, which corresponds to two-mode intensity correlations in optics. We observe p...

Observation of photon-assisted noise in a diffusive normal metal-superconductor junction

We report measurements of nonequilibrium noise in a diffusive normal metal-superconductor (N-S) junction in the presence of both dc bias and high-frequency ac excitation. We find that the shot noise of a diffusive N-S junction is doubled compared to a normal diffusive conductor. Under ac excitation of frequency nu the shot noise develops features at bias voltages |V| = hnu/(2e), which bear all ...

Measurement of the fourth cumulant of photo-assisted noise in a tunnel junction in the classical regime

The statistics of current fluctuations in a mesoscopic sample under irradiation has never been explored beyond the variance and third moment. We report the first measurement of the fourth cumulant of noise in a tunnel junction in the classical regime (i.e. kB T ≫ hf) in the presence of a d.c and microwave excitation, using two methods. First, we have investigated the correlation between the pow...

Modulation Response and Relative Intensity Noise Spectra in Quantum Cascade Lasers

Static properties, relatively intensity noise and intensity modulation response in quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) studied theoretically in this paper. The present rate equations model consists of three equations for the electrons density in the conduction band and one equation for photons density in cavity length. Two equations were derived to calculate the noise and modulation response. Calcula...

Quantum partition noise in a superconducting tunnel junction

The theory of charge partition noise of quasiparticles in a superconducting tunnel junction is developed. The charge fluctuations are shown to have a significant contribution from partition noise that arises from the quantum superposition of the electron and hole character of the quasiparticles. These fluctuations are dominant at small bias voltage. The charge fluctuations are compared to the u...
