\subsection{Mehod for Shot Noise}  To perform the Shot Noise Experiment, we used the Noise Fundamentals devices and two digital multi-meters. Our settings for the Noise Fundamentals devices were as follows: we used the trans-impedance amplifier with a resistance of $10 k \Omega$, a Gain (G1) ($G1$)  of $\times100$ through the preamp, we used a bandwidth of $100$ KHz which has an equivalent noise bandwidth of $115.303$ KHz, and we varied the voltage across the photo-diode from $0$ to $-120 \textrm{ mV}$. To avoid saturating the values of Vsq (read from the multimeter attached after the signal ($V_{sq}$) went through the filter, the gain, and the multiplier) we had to vary the gain (G2) ($G2$)  from $\times5000$, to $\times4000$, and finally to $\times3000$. Our multiplier had a setting of AxA because we needed to square the signal. We recorded the Vsq values in Volts and we recorded the V across the photo-diode in mV. $V_{sq}$ is the signal that has been filtered. Figure
