1. A method of mitigating effects of dispersion in an optical link, the method comprising steps of:
synthesizing a pair of digital sample streams representing a target optical E-field having a spectrum comprising a set of
two or more spectral components arranged at frequency intervals selected such that convolution of the spectrum with itself
yields a signal having a respective beat term that contains phase information of a unique one of the spectral components;
and
driving a complex optical modulator in accordance with the synthesized digital sample streams.
