Abstract
The capacity of the photon counting channel with an average-power constraint equalsP_{s}/(kT \ln2)bit/s at all noise temperaturesT, whereP_{s}is the average signal power andkis Boltzmann's constant. The channel can carry arbitrary orthogonal signals and is not restricted to the poise-position modulation (PPM) signals adduced in the above paper.^{1}Keywords
