Methods and apparatus for providing improving optical signal transmission results over standard mode fiber using a combination of negative chirp, low extinction ratio, and self-phase modulation transmission techniques in combination are described. The use of pre-transmission signal distortion in combinations with one or more of the other transmission techniques is also described. Pre-transmission signal distortion may be introduced by controlling a modulator with a large symmetric AC signal which causes the modulator to operation in a non-linear region or, alternatively, by using a relatively small non-symmetric AC signal to drive the modulator. Use of the small non-symmetric signal has the advantage of reduced power requirements. The pre-transmission distortion acts to counter some of the distortion introduced by the transmission of the signal over an optic fiber.
