Abstract
Optical communication systems with sensitivities approaching a single photon/bit can be realized by combining near-quantum-limited optically-preamplified receiver performance with energy-efficient modulation and coding. Potential applications include average-power-limited photon-starved links where channel bandwidth is readily available.
