Cramér–Rao Bounds for Beam Tracking With Photon Counting Detector Arrays in Free-Space Optical Communications

Optical beam center position on an array of detectors is an important parameter that is essential for estimating the angle-of-arrival of the incoming signal beam. In this paper, we have examined the beam position estimation problem for photon-counting detector arrays, and to this end, we have derive...
