Modeling-the-Randomness-of-Photons

资源简介

Photodetectors are devices that sense electromagnetic energy, typically light, and convert it into an electrical signal. They are used in various technologies in imaging, remote sensing, and communications. Examples include devices that automatically open supermarket doors, sensors on TV remote controls, CCD image detectors in cameras, and huge telescopes used by astronomers to detect and study the radiation from our amazing universe. Quantum theory of light tells us that the light is made of particles (photons), which are emitted by the source at random. As a result, the number of photons emitted by a source (sun, laser, bulb, etc.) and then hit a photodetector is not constant, but subject to random fluctuations. In this project, I first investigated how to model the randomness of photons using Poisson distribution. Then I explored how this randomness will come into the picture as “noise” in the applications of photodetectors. Understanding this random phenomenon will in general be important for the design and analysis of optical imaging and communication systems. METU_EE230_Term_Project
