Photon Shot Noise
A recent theory is reviewed for the shot noise of coherent radiation propagating through a random medium. The Fano factor P/Ī (the ratio of the noise power and the mean transmitted current) is related to the scattering matrix of the medium. This is the optical analogue of Büttiker’s formula for electronic shot noise. Scattering by itself has no effect on the Fano factor, which remains equal to ...
متن کاملLow-noise PPLN-based single-photon detector
This paper describes the detection of single photons, which have been transmitted through standard fiber at the telecom wavelength of 1310 nm. Following transmission, the 1310-nm photon is up-converted to 710 nm in a periodical-poled LiNbO3 (PPLN) waveguide and then detected by a silicon-based avalanche photodiode (Si-APD). The overall detection efficiency of the detector is 20%. We have also c...
متن کاملOn the Use of Shot Noise for Photon Counting
Lieu et al. have recently claimed that it is possible to substantially improve the sensitivity of radio-astronomical observations. In essence, their proposal is to make use of the intensity of the photon shot noise as a measure of the photon arrival rate. Lieu et al. provide a detailed quantum-mechanical calculation of a proposed measurement scheme that uses two detectors and conclude that this...
متن کاملSub-Poissonian shot noise of a high internal gain injection photon detector.
The noise performance of an infrared injection photon detector with very high internal gain was investigated at a wavelength of 1.55 mum. The devices showed sub-Poissonian shot noise with Fano factors around 0.55 at 0.7 V at room temperature. Optical to electrical conversion factors of 3000 electrons per absorbed photon were recorded at 0.7 V. The change in noise-equivalent power with respect t...
متن کاملJohnson Noise and Shot Noise
Two types of electrical noise fundamental to any circuit and their relation to fundamental constants are investigated. Johnson noise of a controlled-gain system is measured across different resistances and temperatures, leading to a calculation of the Boltzmann constant k = (1.48± .07)×10−23J/K and absolute zero T0 = −(270±30) ◦C. The shot noise of a variable-current system is measured, leading...
