A Refined Analysis of the Poisson Channel in the High-Photon-Efficiency Regime

We study the discrete-time Poisson channel under the constraint that its average input power (in photons per channel use) must not exceed some constant ε. We consider the wideband, high-photon-efficiency extreme where ε approaches zero, and where the channel's dark current approaches zero propo...
