Novel method for multi access interference suppression in multiwavelength FBG-encoded OCDMA

We present a method for suppressing multi access interference in 2D-WH/TS OCDMA systems. The systems analysed here uses codes that are generated using integrated fiber Bragg grating based encoder/decoders. The method is unique because of its ability to process OCDMA signals without need for demultiplexing and selective processing. This will lead to a significat reduction in the cost of processing multiwavelegth OCDMA signals and enhance system performance. Power budget reduction was also achieved.
