Abstract
An optical transmitter includes a modulator, a dispersion adjustment module, and an optical amplifier. The optical transmitter is configured to transmit optical pulses over a free-space optical communication channel. The modulator is configured to produce an optical carrier that is amplitude and/or phase modulated by data. The dispersion adjustment module is connected between the modulator and the amplifier and is configured to substantially change temporal widths of optical pulses received from the modulator by changing dispersions of the received optical pulses.
