11. The double-quantum-dot photodetector has a dead time of 1/δω, set by the width δω of the inelastic transition. Photon bunching occurs on the time scale of the inverse bandwidth of the detected radiation, which is also 1/δω. This is why one would need at least two such devices to measure deviations from Poisson statistics due to photon bunching. The theory presented here, appropriate for an array of devices, does not include dead-time effects.

14. This binomial coefficient is called "negative" because it appears as the expansion coefficient of 1 - x to a negative power - v. It counts the number of partitions of n bosons among v states.

22. p»f increase linearly with the detection time τ in the long-time limit.
23. The case of photodetection by emission was studied within the framework of Glauber's photodetection theory by L. Mandel, Phys. Rev. 152, 438 (1966). The photocount at low temperatures is then dominated by vacuum fluctuations, so that this mode of operation is less well suited for the study of nonequilibrium fluctuations such as shot noise.
