Modulation scheme for tedons

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of a method for increasing transmission data rate of a fiber optical communications link using tedons, comprising the steps of:

• encoding a data signal to be transmitted using an encoding scheme that reduces a number of ones disproportionally relative to a number of zeros in said data signal;
• and
• transmitting said encoded data signal over said fiber optical communications link using said tedons.

A computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of instructions, the plurality of instructions including instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the steps of a method for increasing transmission distance of a fiber optical communications link using tedons, comprising the steps of:

• receiving an encoded data signal from said fiber optical communications link using said tedons, wherein said encoded data signal was encoded by a transmitter using an encoding scheme that reduced a number of ones disproportionally relative to a number of zeros in a data signal;
• and
• decoding said encoded data signal.
