  • Method and system for suppressing signal distortions associated with nonlinearity in optical fibers
    Patent number: 6788833
    Abstract: A method and system for suppressing signal distortions in optical signals associated with nonlinearity in optical fibers includes propagating an optical signal through a transmission medium, the transmission medium comprising a sufficiently low dispersion such that a nonlinear distortion imparted on the propagating optical signal by the transmission medium is imprinted primarily on an optical field phase of the optical signal, and converting the propagated optical signal to an electrical signal such that the optical field phase information of the optical signal is not translated into the electrical domain.
