Phototransistor capable of detecting photon flux below photon shot noise |
摘要 |
Disclosed herein is a phototransistor (PT) comprising an emitter, a collector, a floating base, wherein the PT is configured to detect a photon flux incident on the PT and the photon flux being lower than one single photon within f, or wherein the PT is configured to detect a photon flux incident on the PT and the photon flux being below a photon shot noise of the photon flux within f, or wherein the PT is configured to detect a photon flux incident on the PT and the photon flux is 1/√{square root over (β)} of a photon shot noise of the photon flux within f, or wherein the PT is capable of detecting a photon flux incident on the PT and the photon flux being below 2f, or wherein the PT is capable of detecting a photon flux incident on the PT and the photon flux being 2f/β, wherein f is an electrical bandwidth of the PT and β is a current amplification gain of the PT. |
