12. Here the distinction is made between emission noise SI(ν)=-+I(0) I(τ) ei2πντdτ and stimulated noise SI(-ν). While observation of the later requires excitation of the sample by external sources, for a zero temperature external circuit, only SI(ν) should be observed. For an earlier high-frequency shot noise derivation not making the distinction between SI(ν) and SI(-ν), see Refs.

34. The experimental onset in Vds for the emission of high-frequency shot noise was larger than expected (V 5×hν/e). After submission of this work, Gustavsson reported on a double quantum dot on-chip detector, yielding to a more quantitative agreement with theory [Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 206804 (2007)].
