Asymptotically Optimal Optical Orthogonal Signature Pattern Codes

Optical orthogonal signature pattern codes (OOSPCs) have played an important role in a novel type of optical code-division multiple-access network for 2-D image transmission. In this paper, we give four direct constructions for OOSPCs based on polynomials and rational functions over finite fields. We also use r -simple matrices to present a recursive construction for OOSPCs. These constructions yield new families of asymptotically optimal OOSPCs.
