Fast frequency modulation optical code division multiple access communication system

An optical fast frequency modulation code division multiple access communication system is proposed. In this system, an electrically controlled tunable optical filter (TOF) is used to encode the modulated broadband light source. The code depends on the function set to the controller. Two-dimensional code named functional code is also proposed based on a shifted sine function. The function defines the dynamic coding pattern of the central wavelength of the transmitted narrowband optical signal. Thus, the system will allow for an easy reconfiguration of the transmitter without the need for sophisticated encoder. At the receiver, a synchronized TOF with the same function is used as a decoder. The performance of this system is shown to be better compared with a fast frequency hopping and a spectral amplitude coding systems.     

New design of spectral amplitude coding in OCDMA with zero cross-correlation

A zero cross-correlation (ZCC) code is proposed to reduce the impact of system impairment and multiple access interference (MAI) in spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) system. Bit-error-rate (BER) performance is derived taking into account the effect of some noises. The key to an effective OCDMA system is the choice of efficient address codes with good or almost zero correlation properties for encoding the source. The use of ZCC code can eradicate phase induced intensity noise (PIIN) which will contribute to better BER. Thus, we demonstrate, theoretically, the performance of optical ZCC code. It is shown that optical ZCC code can accommodate more users simultaneously for the typical error rate of optical communication system of 10⁻⁹. The result indicates that the established system not only preserves the capability of suppressing MAI, but also improves bit-error-rate performance as compared to the conventional coders.     

A high efficiency construction method of multilength optical orthogonal codes with correlation constraint two for OCDMA multimedia network

In order to construct multilength optical orthogonal codes (ML OOCs) with correlation constraint 2 for multi-rate OCDMA passive optical networks, a high efficiency construction method is presented. The main idea is to construct high efficiency mapping sequences to map optimal short length OOCs with cross correlation 2 into long length OOCs with cross correlation 2. Fundamental of constructing high efficiency mapping sequence is derived, and the mapping sequences based on multiplication table of integer domain is examined. Simulations based on the method show that the cardinality of long length OOCs is just slightly lower than Johnson bound. Therefore, it has very high variable length efficiency.     

A novel encoder/decoder design scheme utilizing differential detection in OCDMA systems

In this paper, we report the use of differential detection in optical code-division multiple access (OCDMA) systems which use encoders and decoders based on unbalanced codes and utilize bipolar modulation/differential detection to demonstrate a significant improvement in system performance. Differential detection has been reported earlier also requiring a large number of one-chips in the code for (balanced codes) or with unbalanced codes with very long temporal dimensions requiring a large number of delay elements (either the delay lines in the ladder-type structures or the gratings in the multiple fiber gratings) making the encoder/decoder structures. We use single pulse per row codes to design our system and carry out the simulations for showing the results. The improved BER performance is achieved that can be traded for increasing the number of codes. Using optical simulation tool, the OCDMA system has been simulated for four users. The results of this system utilizing differential detection and another system that uses the same coding scheme but employing direct detection, for the same number of interfering users, are shown for comparison. The BER and the power penalty plots are shown for the two systems. Also, it is shown that performance degradation occurs due to the linear and non-linear effects of the fiber medium. The BER worsens more rapidly with link length for direct detection case, whereas for differential detection with an initial improvement of 8 dB, the increase in BER is insignificantly small for a link length of 500 km.

A divided spectrum balanced detection technique for intensity noise reduction in SAC OCDMA systems

In this paper we propose a simple divided spectrum balanced detection (DSBD) for spectral amplitude coding (SAC) optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) systems. SAC OCDMA systems are limited by phase induced intensity noise (PIIN), which is a signal dependent source of noise. Our proposed technique reduces the PIIN by dividing the spectrum of the signal into two or more, and detecting each spectrum by a different photodiode. The DSBD scheme reduces the detected optical power at photodetection, thus resulting in a higher mitigation of the PIIN. Theoretical results show that DSBD demonstrate noticeable improvement over traditional balanced detection technique, for example an up to 33% increase in the number of active users can be achieved, and at least 1 × 10⁻³ b/s Hz increase in the spectral efficiency is obtained. However, the SDBD is more complex and append more constrains on system components.

2.50 Gbit/s optical CDMA over FSO communication system

Optical CDMA over FSO communication system is very effective to provide high data rate transmission with very low bit error rate and low amount of multiple access interference. In this paper, we have presented optical CDMA over FSO communication system to the range of 8000 m. The simulative results reveal that the transmission distance is limited mainly by the multi-access interference (MAI) which arises when there are number of users in the system because of the fact that one user data becomes noisy for all other users in the channel.     

Performance analysis of a hybrid fiber Bragg grating-based spectral-amplitude-coding/successive interference cancellation for optical CDMA systems

Successive interference cancellation (SIC) scheme is proposed as a new technique that has the potential to reduce the interference and suppress the multiple-access interference (MAI) in spectral-amplitude-coding (SAC) optical-code-division-multiple access (OCDMA) systems. The proposed receiver-based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) techniques. The performance of the proposed system is theoretically analyzed, taking into account various types of noise and interference, including both multiple-access interference (MAI) and receiver noise. Analytical results show that the proposed system offers significant improvement in terms of bit error rate and system capacity (number of users). We have tested our results with both modified prime codes (MPR) and modified quadratic congruence (MQC) codes. In addition, we have compared our proposed system with the corresponding one without cancellation. It has been shown that the proposed scheme gives a substantial increase in capacity.     

Performance analysis of electronic code division multiple access based virtual private networks over passive optical networks

A solution for implementing multiple secure virtual private networks over a passive optical network using electronic code division multiple access is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The multiple virtual private networking capability is experimentally demonstrated with 40 Mb/s data multiplexed with a 640 Mb/s electronic code that is unique to each of the virtual private networks in the passive optical network, and the transmission of the electronically coded data is carried out using Fabry-Perot laser diodes. A theoretical scalability analysis for electronic code division multiple access based virtual private networks over a passive optical network is also carried out to identify the performance limits of the scheme. Several sources of noise such as optical beat interference and multiple access interference that are present in the receiver are considered with different operating system parameters such as transmitted optical power, spectral width of the broadband optical source, and processing gain to study the scalability of the network.     

Performance Evaluation of a Gigabit Optical CDMA Network for Two Distinct Families of Two-Dimensional Codes and Different Transmission Rates

This paper investigates the performance of a given gigabit optical code division multiple access (O-CDMA) network for two distinct families of two-dimensional (2-D) codes. The purpose of this analysis is to provide additional information regarding code adequacy to a given system availability so that performance optimization can be more efficiently carried out. The analysis takes into account construction aspects of the codes as well as dispersive and nonlinear effects in the single-mode fiber (SMF), such as group velocity dispersion (GVD), polarization mode dispersion (PMD), self-phase modulation (SPM), and cross-phase modulation (XPM). The analysis focuses on four different transmission rates, i.e., 1.25, 2.5, 5, and 10 Gbit/s, and describes how signal degradations impact the performance of the network. The simulations are carried out for a back-to-back system and for a 50-km dispersion-compensated fiber-optic link.     

A new family of two-dimensional codes for optical CDMA systems

The design of a new family of two-dimensional single pulse per column codes for optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) networks is reported. The 1-D modified pseudo-noise codes have been known to be orthogonal and their generation and system design based on these codes is rather simple. But their performance is limited due to the bandwidth constraints if the code length increases. Hence, using these 1-D modified pseudo-noise codes, modified 2-D pseudo-noise matrix codes (MPMCs) are generated. The system performance is evaluated for two, three and four simultaneous users using the link with all the sources responsible for degradation included: attenuation, chromatic dispersion, non-linear refractive effects, non-linear scattering and four-wave mixing. The effect of the non-linear and lossy dispersive medium over the system performance is shown by plotting the BER with respect to the link length for the systems designed using encoders/decoders base on 1-D modified pseudo-noise codes and our MPMCs. The performance is compared for the two types of codes by finding the crosstalk due to interfering users simultaneously operating in the network.     

Performance enhancement using the bipolar capacity of bipolar coded fiber Bragg gratings and balanced detection in the spectral encoded code-division-multiple-access systems

This paper proposes a performance-enhanced code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) system using modified pseudorandom noise (PN) coded fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) with a bipolar optical CDMA encoder/decoder. The data were encoded either by a unipolar signature sequence of modified PN code or by its complement, depending on whether the data bit was ‘1’ or ‘0’. Numerical simulation confirmed that bit error rate (BER) performance largely improved due to the increased decision margin at the receiver. Furthermore, at the BER of 10⁻⁹, the tolerance of spectral power distortion in the optical source appeared to be nearly twice that of conventional optical CDMA systems.
