Abstract
Optical communication using optical resonators with noise margins is disclosed. A representative system includes an optical fiber for transmitting optical signals, a receiver configured to receive the optical signals, and a plurality of optical resonators optically connecting the optical fiber to the receiver. The individual optical resonators can have peak sensitivities at mutually different wavelengths of light. In some embodiments the optical resonators can be Q-switches.
