Shot noise

Photon noise simulation. Number of photons per pixel increases from left to right and from upper row to bottom row.

Shot noise or Poisson noise is a type of noise which can be modeled by a Poisson process.

In electronics shot noise originates from the discrete nature of electric charge. Shot noise also occurs in photon counting in optical devices, where shot noise is associated with the particle nature of light.
