Noise components in the detector. The shot noise level was determined with illumination of the reference arm only, and was used to determine the A/D resolution of the detector. The theoretical shot noise curve was fit using Eq. (32) to the measured noise, giving a Δe of 173 electrons and a corresponding well depth of 177,000 electrons.
