Abstract

Results on the efficient capacity of a noisy PPM photon-counting channel are presented. Optimization of the optical system over the number of slots, the average power of the signal and the frequency bandwidth of the channel is considered and studied. The regions of quantum-limited operations and weak background noise are analysed in detail.
