Analysis on Practical Photon Counting Receiver in Optical Scattering Communication
We consider the practical photon-counting receiver in optical scattering communication. In the receiver side, the detected signal can be characterized as discrete photoelectrons, a series of pulses is generated by photon-multiplier (PMT) detector, held by the pulse-holding circuits, sampled in analog-to-digit convertor (ADC) and then be counted by a rising-edge pulse detector. However, the puls...
متن کاملPractical codes for photon communication
In a recent paper, Pierce studied the problems of communicating at optical frequencies using photon-counting techniques, and concluded that “at low temperatures we encounter insuperable problems of encoding long before we approach [channel capacity].” In this paper it is shown that even assuming a noiseless model for photon communication for which capacity (measured in nats/photon) is infinite,...
متن کاملOptical encryption using photon-counting polarimetric imaging.
We present a polarimetric-based optical encoder for image encryption and verification. A system for generating random polarized vector keys based on a Mach-Zehnder configuration combined with translucent liquid crystal displays in each path of the interferometer is developed. Polarization information of the encrypted signal is retrieved by taking advantage of the information provided by the Sto...
متن کاملImpact of Receiver Deadtime on Photon-Counting SLR and Altimetry during Daylight Operations
The dominant noise source in photon-counting SLR and altimetry systems is the solar background during daylight operations. We discuss the relevant attributes of Single Photoelectron Avalanche Diodes (SPADs) and Microchannel Plate Photomultipliers (MCP/PMTs) for these applications. Using a solar noise model based on a stratified spherical shell atmosphere, we compute the expected background coun...
متن کاملNovel photon-counting detectors for free-space communication
We present performance data for novel photon-counting detectors for free space optical communication. NASA GSFC is testing the performance of two types of novel photon-counting detectors 1) a 2x8 mercury cadmium telluride (HgCdTe) avalanche array made by DRS Inc., and a 2) a commercial 2880-element silicon avalanche photodiode (APD) array. We present and compare dark count, photon-detection eff...
