Performance of OCDMA spectral-amplitude-coding with optical orthogonal codes

The scheme of FBG-based OCDMA spectral-amplitude-coding (SAC) and the designing of SAC encoder/decoder with the (N, w, /spl lambda/) = (q/sup 2/ + q + 1.q + 1.1) optical orthogonal codes are discussed. The performance of this system, especially the SIR and BER resulting from multi-access interference (MAI) are also analyzed in detail.
