Claim Text:
1. A system capable of operating in an amorphous medium to broadcast an optical signal through the amorphous medium to a remote detector capable of detecting the optical signal within the amorphous medium, the system comprising: a primary emitter, intended for communication purposes, capable of producing a primary communication optical signal having a first intensity during at least one broadcast period and capable of transmitting the primary optical signal through the amorphous medium; at least one secondary emitter separate from the primary emitter, generally used to provide lighting that is independent of the communication purposes of the primary emitter and in operation during at least a portion of the broadcast period, the secondary emitter being capable of producing a secondary emission having a second intensity detectable by the detector during the broadcast period; and a signal entrainment controller in communication with the primary emitter and the secondary emitter, wherein the signal entrainment controller synchronizes the secondary emitter with the primary emitter to generate a resultant signal of higher intensity within the amorphous medium than the intensity of the primary signal by itself.
