Noise of a single-electron emitter
Abstract
I analyze the correlation function of currents generated by the periodically driven quantum capacitor emitting single electrons and holes into the chiral waveguide. I compare adiabatic and non-adiabatic, transient working regimes of a single-electron emitter and find the striking difference between the correlation functions in two regimes. Quite generally for the system driven with frequency the correlation function depends on two frequencies, and , where is an integer. For the emitter driven non-adiabatically the correlation functions for different are similar and almost symmetric in . While in the case of adiabatic drive the correlation functions for are highly asymmetric in and exceed significantly the one corresponding to . Under optimal operating conditions the correlation function for odd is zero.
