An Efficient Spectral Amplitude Coding (SAC) Technique for Optical CDMA System using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Concepts

This article introduces an improved method for Optical Code Division Multiple Access system (OCDMA). In this scheme, a hybrid technique is used in which Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is merged with Spectral Amplitude Coding (SAC) to efficiently diminish Multiple Access Interference (MAI) and alleviate the impact of Phase Induced Intensity Noise (PIIN) appearing in photo-detecting process. The proposed technique SAC-OCDMA/WDM MP (SW-MP) is implemented by using Matrix Partitioning (MP) code family, which is constructed via merging mathematics sequence and algebraic approaches. The key notion is to create the code patterns in SAC domain, then diagonally replicate it in the wavelength domain as blocks which preserves the same code patterns of a given code weight. The SW-MP code family preserves convenient code length property which gives flexibility in transmitter-receiver design. It is reported that the proposed scheme has potential to remove MAI proficiently and improve the system performance significantly.
