Abstract

The performances of different sets of suitably encoded symbols over an ideal photon counting channel are investigated, on the basis of Shannon theorem for discrete channels. The possibility of reaching a transmission efficiency higher than that of a PPM transmission, which represents the most efficient practical transmission scheme suggested till now, is shown. In particular, this efficiency is comparable with that of a binary transmission with different a priori probabilities, with the advantage of a practical feasibility.
