Abstract

A method of transmitting optical pulses in a transmission media includes separating a coherent source optical pulse into a plurality of mutually coherent pulses, and producing a series of mutually coherent optical pulses from the plurality of pulses. The series is transmitted through the media, and the pulses of the series are received at a distant region of the media. The series of pulses is adapted to interfere and form a packet whose width is narrower than the width of any pulse of the series at the distant region.
