摘要：
We present an experimental study of a quantum dot for application to a single photon terahertz detector. A GaAs/AlGaAs quantum dot of similar to 1 micrometer size is defined by mesa patterning and metal gates. The charge polarization of the QD induced by the absorption of individual photons is detected by a metallic single electron transistor. We have investigated the operation of the QD at different rates of the external terahertz photon flux and at various temperatures. It was found that a state of the nearly isolated QD can potentially be used for counting individual terahertz photons. The operation of the detector is however strongly affected by the exact composition of the QD excitation states.
