  • Abstract
    Photon-efficient optical communications using variable-duty-cycle M-ary pulse-position modulation (M-PPM) with coding is investigated experimentally using a simple, multi-rate nearly quantum-limited receiver with throughputs ranging from 1.25 Gbit/s, in the binary case, to 78 Mbit/s, for M=256.
