Abstract
We show that even under ideal conditions (no thermal noise or dark current, continuously-variable intensity lasers, perfectly accurate photon counters}, R, is, at most, one nat per photon in optical systems which use photon counting techniques. Since even under less ideal circumstances channel capacity is infinite, this is a surprising and in some ways disappointing result.
