8×8 Full-duplex demonstration of asynchronous, 10Gbps, DPSK-OCDMA system using apodized SSFBG and multi-port en/decoder

We develop a novel apodized, 16-level-phase-shifted SSFBG encoder/decoder, which can improve the system performance of OCDMA system. Error free (BER < 10
^-9
) transmissions of 8 times 8 full-duplex, asynchronous, 10 Gbps, DPSK-OCDMA system over 50 km are successfully demonstrated.
