Abstract :
The capacity of the photon counting channel with an average-power constraint equals 
bit/s at all noise temperatures 
, where 
is the average signal power and 
is Boltzmann\´s constant. The channel can carry arbitrary orthogonal signals and is not restricted to the poise-position modulation (PPM) signals adduced in the above paper.
