Claim 9:
10. The optical communication system of claim 1, wherein:
the continuous wave optical source is disposed in a transmit node;
the transmit node comprises a beam splitter configured to split a combined pulse generated by the optical communication system into a plurality of separated pulses having different wavelength bands, the first pulse being among the plurality of separated pulses;
the transmit node is configured to separately modulate each of the plurality of separated pulses in response to the data transmission signal, thereby encoding the transmission data into the plurality of separated pulses;
each of the plurality of separated pulses has a respective coherence length of less than 400 microns;
the photoreceiver is disposed in a receiving node;
the receiving node comprises a beam splitter configured to direct the plurality of separated pulses to a respective photoreceiver of a plurality of photoreceivers, the photoreceiver being among the plurality of photoreceivers;
each of the plurality of separated pulses comprises respective ray paths that arrive at the respective photoreceiver of the plurality of photoreceivers according to a respective temporal distribution curve; and
each of the plurality of separated pulses has a respective FWHM value of its temporal distribution curve that is at least three times as large as a respective coherence time value equal to the respective coherence length of the respective separated pulse divided by the speed of light through the variably refractive medium.
