Abstract
To increase the transmission length in an optical fiber, a method of transmitting digital data uses both power modulation and phase modulation of an optical carrier. To compensate the chromatic dispersion produced by the fiber, a phase-shift is applied to the wave within each time cell in which the optical power is low and that precedes or follows a cell in which the power is high. Applications include long-distance optical transmission using standard fibers.
