The information rates achievable by using electromagnetic radiation affected by thermal noise and signal decoherence are studied. The standard coherent Gaussian model is compared with an alternative photon gas model which represents lack of a shared phase reference between transmitter and receiver. At any frequency, information rates over the photon gas model essentially coincide with those over the Gaussian model when the signal-to-noise ratio is below a threshold. Only above the threshold does decoherence cause a loss in information rates; the loss can amount to half of the capacity. The threshold exceeds 40 dB for radio frequencies and vanishes at optical frequencies.
