A communication system comprising an emitter of weak light pulses, a detector which is capable of detecting single photons, and a source of a clock signal, wherein said emitter and detector are synchronised using said clock signal, the system further comprising a frequency divider for said clock signal to produce a reduced frequency clock signal and a clock regenerator for regenerating the original clock signal from the reduced frequency clock signal, the system further comprising a communication channel configured to communicate the clock signal between the emitter and detector, the clock signal being reduced before sending through said channel and reconstructed after it has exited said channel.
