Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005084268A2] In one form of the present invention, there is provided a fiber optic communication system comprising: an optical signal source adapted to receive a base binary signal and produce a first signal, said first signal being frequency modulated; and an optical spectrum reshaper adapted to reshape the first signal into a second signal, said second signal being amplitude modulated and frequency modulated; characterized in that: the frequency characteristics of said first signal, and the optical characteristics of said optical spectrum reshaper, being such that the frequency characteristics of said second signal are configured so as to increase the tolerance of the second signal to dispersion in a transmission fiber. In another form of the present invention, there is provided an optical transmitter comprising: a frequency modulated source for generating a first frequency modulated signal, and an amplitude modulator for receiving the first frequency modulated signal and for generating a second amplitude and frequency modulated signal.
