Photon information efficient communication through atmospheric turbulence

High photon-efficiency (many bits/photon) optical communication is possible with pulse-position modulation and direct detection, and high spectral efficiency (many bits/sec-Hz) optical communication is possible with quadrature-amplitude modulation and coherent detection. These high efficiencies, how...
