Method of Achieving the Least Loss of Information in an Asynchronous Binary Single-Photon Communication Channel with a Receiver Based on a Photon Counter

Abstract

A mathematical model of asynchronous optical communication channel with a photon counter applied as a receiving module has been built. The expression for calculating of data throughput of this channel has been obtained. As a result of implemented experimental investigations it has been established that the data throughput of asynchronous optical communication channel containing a photon counter on the basis of avalanche photodetector as a receiving module depends on optical radiation and photodetector supply voltage.
