Coding for optical channels with photon-counting
Abstract
The problem of coding for Pierce's recent model for optical communications is studied. It was concluded that for any positive rate rho (measured in nats per photon), the best code of length n has an error probability bounded by an exponentially decaying function of n. Explicit practical schemes are shown for rho less than or = to 1; and evidence is given that rho approximating 1 may be the practical limit for optical communication.
