Abstract

Conditional pulse nulling (CPN) receiver is proposed by Dolinar to discriminate pulse position modulation (PPM) signals. The receiver, which uses a beam splitter and an on-off photon detector can outperform the standard quantum limit (SQL) for PPM signals. In this paper, this receiver is applied to multi-pulse PPM (MPPM) and binary quantum coding signals, and a dynamic programming algorithm is proposed to optimize the control strategy. The MPPM signals are used to improve the band-utilization efficiency, and the binary quantum coding enables the communication system to correct the error. Numerical simulation results show that the CPN receiver with optimized strategy outperform SQL for both MPPM and binary quantum coding signals.
