A method for assigning a color symbol to an image pixel comprises selecting a luminance value from a discrete set of quantized luminance values; selecting a chrominance value from an ordered discrete set of quantized chrominance values; and composing a color symbol from an index of the selected luminance value and an index of an ordinal position of the selected chrominance value. The pump source is adapted to generate light, which is received by the first fiber laser and used to generate a first pulsed output. The on-chip antenna connection electrode is connected to the internal circuit and the second antenna connection electrode by internal lines.
