Abstract

In this work, we present noise analysis in a Single Electron Photo-detector (photo-SET or nanopixel) able to detect one by one electron. We perform the power spectral densities (PSD) of random telegraph signals (RTSs) measured in the dark conditions and under light illumination. Photoinduced RTS can be attributed to the charging of a dot near the current path. From these results, photogenerated traps were identified. It is also found that RTS fluctuations depend on the light wavelength.
