A transmission line resonator driven by a biased quantum point contact is investigated. The quantum point contact (QPC) is not only an efficient detector but also a light emission device. We find that the excited photon number in the resonator is monotonically increased with the bias voltage for eV>ℏωr with V the applied bias voltage and ℏωr the frequency of the resonator. The linewidth and the height of the emission spectrum are sensitive to the parameters of the QPC, such as the tunneling rate, the applied bias voltage, and the coupling strength between the QPC and resonator. Moreover, we demonstrate that the noise spectrum of the current through QPC has characteristic features showing peak and dip, which is closely related to the excited photon dynamics of the resonator.
