An optimal cardinality of wavelength/time incoherent OCDMA system using 2-D hybrid FCC-MDW code

A 2-Dimensional (2-D) Wavelength/Time (W/T) scheme is proposed for spectral amplitude coding OCDMA network system. The new hybrid codes are utilizing Flexible Cross Correlation (FCC) and Modified Double Weight (MDW) codes which both codes have good correlation properties and capable to suppress multiple access interference (MAI). From the numerical calculation, it has been shown that this new hybrid code effectively suppresses the phase Induced Intensity Noise (PIIN) and eliminates MAI. Furthermore, the cardinality of this proposed code accommodates 150% and 275% improvement compared to 2-D PD code and 2-D M-Matrices code respectively at the BER=10⁻⁹. As a result, the performance of the system can be improved as well as support much more simultaneous users compared to Perfect Difference (PD) and M-matrices codes.
