Signal and noise characteristics of photovoltaic P-N junction diodes

The noise characteristics of ideal photovoltaic p-n junction diodes are discussed and investigated. The hypothesis is advanced that the open-circuit noise from an illuminated ideal diode is entirely due to the shot noise of the various current contributions. Theoretical justification for this theory...
