Claim 6:
7. The optical communication system of claim 1, wherein:
the filtered beam of light comprises a plurality of pulses including at least a first pulse and is transmitted over an optical communication distance to the photoreceiver;
photons, of the first pulse, travel along a plurality of ray paths having different lengths to the photoreceiver;
the photons of the first pulse arrive at the photoreceiver according to a temporal distribution curve that depends, at least in part, on a duration of the first pulse and the different lengths of the plurality of ray paths; and
a full width at half maximum (FWHM) value of the temporal distribution curve is at least three times as large as a coherence time value equal to a coherence length of the first pulse divided by a speed of light through the variably refractive medium.
