Abstract
Single photon avalanche detectors are becoming available for applications that require photon counting or the accurate measurement of the arrival times of photons. Our previous experimental results have shown that in the future it will be possible to increase the sensitivity of receivers using this type of photodetector. In this paper a method of determining the optimum PAM symbol levels for this type of sensitive receiver is described and demonstrated.
