We propose a new optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) scheme for reducing multiple access interference (MAI) and enhancing performance for optical subscriber access networks using modified pseudorandom noise (PN)-coded fiber Bragg gratings with bipolar OCDMA decoders. Through the bipolar OCDMA decoder and the modified PN codes, MAI among users is effectively depressed. As the data are encoded either by a unipolar signature sequence of the modified PN code or its complement according to whether the data bit is 1 or 0, the bit error ratio (BER) can be more improved with the same signal to interference plus noise ratio over the conventional on-off shift keying-based OCDMA system. We prove by numerical analysis that the BER of the proposed bipolar OCDMA system is better than the conventional unipolar OCDMA system. We also analyze the spectral power distortion effects of the broadband light source.

The beating of two or more lasers that have the same or a finite difference in the central frequencies, is the main source of noise in spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC OCDMA) systems. In this paper we adopt a spatial multiplexing (SM) scheme for SAC OCDMA systems to mitigate this beat noise. The results show that for different code weights and different data rates SM SAC can support a larger number of users than the conventional SAC for all different laser source configurations. However, SM SAC requires a more complex system than the conventional SAC, and almost twice as much optical component.

In this paper, we propose an optimal 2-dimensional construction algorithm of a code family for a high-speed optical code division multiple access network. The optimal 2-D code family generated by search algorithm has better spectrum efficiency than previous codes, having relatively many code sets with short code length and the same or lower BER. Using the optimal 2-D code, OCDMA systems make it possible to utilize the spectrum more efficiently than WDM systems. The probability of bit error for high-speed OCDMA transmissions is calculated as a function of the number of users in the presence of receiver and shot noise(additive white Gaussian noise).

A two-dimensional optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) encoder/decoder, which is composed of add/drop filters and all-pass filters for delay operation, is proposed. An example design is presented, and its feasibility is illustrated through numerical simulations. The chip area of the proposed OCDMA encoder/decoder could be about one-third that of a previous OCDMA device employing delay waveguides. Its performance is numerically investigated using the transfer-matrix method combined with the fast Fourier transform. The autocorrelation peak level over the maximum cross-correlation level for incorrect wavelength hopping and spectral phase code combinations is greater than 3 at the center of the correctly decoded pulse, which assures a bit error rate lower than 10^-3, corresponding to the forward error-correction limit.

In this paper, we analyze the effect of line-width of optical sources on the performance of spectral amplitude coding (SAC) optical code division multiple-access (OCDMA) systems. For a performance analysis we use a symmetric balanced incomplete block design (BIBD) code as the code sequence because we can construct a series of code families by choosing different values of q and m. The ideal BIBD code (m=2) requires narrower line-width than the nonideal BIBD codes when the effective power is large ($P_{sr}=-10dBm$). But the nonideal BIBD codes (m>2) need narrower line-width than the ideal BIBD code when $P_{sr}=-25dBm$.

We demonstrate binary spectral phase coded waveform discrimination at 10 GHz for narrow band optical code-division multiple-access (NB-OCDMA) via direct electrical detection without using any optical hard-limiter. Only 9 phase-locked, 10 GHz spaced, spectral lines within a 100 GHz spectral window are used for the phase coding. Considerably high contrast ratio of 5 between signal and multiuser access interference noise can be achieved for $4{\times}10\;G\;pulse/sec$ timing coordinated OCDMA at a simple electrical receiver with 50 GHz bandwidth.

It has been known that the optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) is a prominent future technology to support many simultaneous users and to increase transmission capacity of optical fiber. In this paper, we proposed the new construction of 2 dimensional code, which can be used as a codeword in temporal/wavelength OCDMA networks. New code family is obtained by extending the concept of Hamming correlation. All optical encoder and decoder for newly proposed code were also developed. In considering bit error ratio, we verified that new coding scheme outperforms conventional coding scheme by simulation. This system is applicable to asynchronous fast local area network, which needs a high security level and a flexible network configuration.

When input power is small, nonideal symmetric balance incomplete block design(BIBD) code design is effective in the spectral-amplitude-code(SAC) optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) system. But the number of simultaneous users is not sufficient. To overcome this property, we propose 2-D BIBD codes, where nonideal BIBD codes are used as spectral code and ideal BIBD codes are used as spatial codes. Analytical results show that the number of simultaneous users increases significantly.

A two-dimensional optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) en/decoder composed of four double-ring resonator add/drop filters and three delay waveguides is designed, and a transfer matrix method combined with fast Fourier transform is implemented to provide numerical simulations for the en/decoder. The auto-correlation peak level over the maximum cross-correlation level is larger than 3 at the center of the correctly decoded pulse for most of wavelength hopping and spectral phase code combinations, which assures the BER lower than 10^-3 which corresponds to the forward error correction limit.

We propose a two-dimensional temporal/wavelength optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) encoder/decoder, which has an array of superstructured fiber Bragg gratings (SSFBGs). SSFBGs in an encoder/decoder have different wavelengths from each other and can be coded with the same OCDMA code or not. Simulation was performed to analyze the feasibility of the scheme.
