Abstract
Method for modulating a carrier light wave with symbols, led through a modulating interferometer, the total path phase shift being the sum of a respective first, second, third or fourth static phase shift and a respective first, second, third or fourth variable modulating phase shift amount. For each of at least two symbols: the first variable modulating phase shift equals the sum of the first pair phase shift and the common phase shift; the second variable modulating phase shift equals the sum of the negative of the first pair phase shift and the common phase shift; the third variable modulating phase shift equals the sum of the second pair phase shift and the negative of the common phase shift; the fourth variable modulating phase shift equals the sum of the negative of the second pair phase shift and the negative of the common phase shift.
