We discuss on noise in heterodyne holography in an off-axis configuration. We show that, for a weak signal, the noise is dominated by the shot noise on the reference beam. This noise corresponds to an equivalent noise on the signal beam of…

Focused ion beam (FIB) microscopy suffers from source shot noise - random variation in the number of incident ions in any fixed dwell time - along with random variation in the number of detected secondary electrons per incident ion. This…

Noise has been measured in two types of coductor-insulator mixtures as a function of bias and composition. It was marked by a huge increase in magnitude as the resistance increased only slightly due to Joule heating. The noise (resistance)…
