Abstract
It is an object of the present invention to provide a communications system for communication between two remote terminals, where even at very long distances between these two terminals and/or at very small signal-to-noise ratios a robust communication is possible. The invention achieves the goal set before by suggesting an inventive pulse position modulation scheme and a corresponding optical communications system. The system and method according to the invention are very well suited for communication with a satellite in deep space, for instance.
