1/f noise ("one-over-f noise", occasionally called "flicker noise" or "pink noise") is a type of noise whose power spectra P(f) as a function of the frequency f behaves like: P(f) = 1/fa , where the exponent a is very close to 1 (that's where the name "1/f noise" comes from).

If we mix visible light with different frequencies according to 1/f distribution, the resulting light may be pinkish. Mixtures using other distributions should have different colors. For example, if the distribution is flat, the resulting light is white (P(f)=constant noise is called "white noise")

1/f noise is ubiquitous. This bibliography is an attempt to show this fact.
