Abstract
Method and apparatus for transmitting a light signal in an optical transmission system is described. In an example, an optical transmission link includes an input port and an output port. The optical transmission link is configured to propagate optical pulses from the input port to the output port. Information is encoded using phase relationships between adjacent ones of the optical pulses. A phase conjugator is disposed between the input port and the output port. The phase conjugator is positioned to reduce phase variance of the optical pulses at the output port.
