Abstract: We have investigated the shot noise affected by the perturbation of two microwave fields (MWFs) with frequencies ω 1 and ω 2 , which can be classified as the commensurate and incommensurate external ac fields. The time-dependent current correlation function and the spectral density of shot noise have been obtained. They are very different compared with the single-field applied system in the nonlinear regime of the ac potentials. The different photon absorption and emission processes induce different kinds of noise spectral density. We have performed the numerical calculations for both commensurate balanced and unbalanced photon absorptions and emissions. The multi-photon procedure can be seen clearly from the resonance of shot noise. Different commensurate number q=ω 2 /ω 1 contributes to different photon absorption and emission behaviors. It is found that the asymmetric configuration of shot noise is intimately associated with the commensurate number q. The differential conductance appears symmetric and asymmetric behaviors, and the channel blockade exhibits. The shot noise is large enough to surpass its saturated value for the unbalanced photon absorption case. The sensitive behaviors of Fano factor associated with different commensurate numbers and amplitudes of ac fields signify that the shot noise can be controlled by external MWFs significantly.
