Abstract :
A combined pulse-amplitude/pulse-position modulation tachnique is proposed for digital optical communication systems. Evaluations of its behaviour in terms of coding efficiency, spectral density, timing information content, and error probability are summarised. Alternative receiving schemes are devised to improve system performance.
