2.2 Photon noise

Photon noise in bolometric detection is the result of fluctuations in the arrival times of photons at the absorbing element^28,31,32

Equation 4b is a corrected version of Eq. 4a that was added via a 2023 erratum to the original 2018 publication.

There are two contributions to NEPph. The first term represents shot noise NEPshot, which dominates when the photon occupation number <<1 (e.g. optical wavelengths) and is . The second term represents wave noise NEPwavc, which dominates when the photon occupation number is >> 1 (e.g. radio wavelengths) and is cc Popt. For ground-based experiments, the photon occupation number at ~ 100 GHz is ~ 1, and therefore a careful handling of both terms is necessary for an accurate NET estimate.
