Abstract :
An ideal quantum receiver is to detect a coherent narrow-band optical signal in the presence of thermal background radiation. Curves are given both of the average probability of error in a binary communication system transmitting O´s (blanks) and 1´s (pulses) with equal probabilities, and of the probability of detection for various fixed values of the false-alarm probability.
