Abstract

It is shown that the variance of the linear dc-conductance fluctuations in an open quantum dot under a high-frequency ac pumping depends significantly on the spectral content of the ac field. For a sufficiently strong ac field γτφ1, where 1/τφ is the dephasing rate induced by ac noise and γ is the electron escape rate, the dc-conductance fluctuations are much stronger for the harmonic pumping than in the case of the noise ac field of the same intensity. The reduction factor r in a static magnetic field takes the universal value of 2 only for the white-noise pumping. For the strictly harmonic pumping A(t)=A0cosωt of sufficiently large intensity the variance is almost insensitive to the static magnetic field r1=2τφγ1. For the quasiperiodic ac field of the form A(t)=A0[cos(ω1t)+cos(ω2t)] with ω1,2γ and γτφ1 we predict effect of enchancement of conductance fluctuations at commensurate frequencies ω2/ω1=P/Q.
