DESIGN OF CODING AND MODULATION FOR POWER-EFFICIENT USE OF A BAND-LIMITED OPTICAL CHANNEL Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We show that Q-ary pulse-position modulation with raised cosine pulses minimizes the average power (photons/s) required to communicate at a specified throughput rate (nats/s) over a band-limited, noisy optical channel. The best choice of Q is identified, as are other encoder parameters. 1983 IEEE
