Abstract

A laser transmitter (200, 300) includes a femptosecond pulse forming circuit (214, 308) and an ultra high-speed optical switch (218, 304) which enable the transmitter (200, 300) to generate a modulated pulse stream having pulses with widths of under 200 femptoseconds. The transmitted pulse stream is processed by a laser detector (500), including a wideband optical detector (504) and pulse stretching circuit (506), that regenerates information included in the modulated pulse stream.
