A novel electrical noise source is proposed, based on lightwave components and internal shot‐noise calibration, which offers an attractive alternative to conventional 50‐Ω noise sources. This report describes the principle, and the experimental verification of various quality aspects like linearity, absolute accuracy, and impedance robustness. © 1992 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
