How does coherent optics increase data speed? - Modulation and polarization multiply the data capacity in optical networks.

In the early days of optical networks, all optical signals relied on a simple mechanism known as on-off keying (OOK). Simply put, this mechanism works by turning a light on and off to transmit data. OOK is a broader term used to describe...
