Title
The Discrete-Time Poisson Channel at Low Input Powers
Abstract
The asymptotic capacity at low input powers of an average-power limited or an average- and peak-power limited discrete-time Poisson channel is considered. For a Poisson channel whose dark current is zero or decays to zero linearly with its average input power ε, capacity scales like ε log 1/ε for small ε. For a Poisson channel whose dark current is a nonzero constant, capacity scales, to within a constant, like ε log log 1/ε for small ε.
