Claim 11:
12. A method for optically transmitting data through a variably refractive medium, the method comprising:
generating, by a modulated optical source in accordance with a data signal to encode transmission data, a modulated beam of light, wherein the modulated optical source includes a waveguide that amplifies emitted light, and the modulated beam of light has a coherence length less than 400 microns and a first signal-to-noise ratio;
receiving and both amplifying and filtering, by an optical amplifier, the modulated beam of light to produce a filtered beam of light;
wherein the filtered beam has a second signal-to-noise ratio, the second signal-to-noise ratio being at least three times as large as the first signal-to-noise ratio; and
transmitting the filtered beam of light through a variably refractive medium to a detector having a photoreceiver, wherein the photoreceiver is configured to extract the transmission data from the filtered beam of light.
