1. A method for improving the jitter tolerance of a receiver in an optical transmission system, comprising:

  • receiving an input optical signal;

    sampling said input signal more than once within its bit slot; and

    determining, using logic circuitry, from a combination of at least a subset of said more than one samples, a resulting logic state for an output signal, wherein said output signal exhibits an improved bit error rate (BER).
