OCDM Network Implementation of 1-D OOC and Passive Correlation Receiver

Abstract

Optical Code Division Multiplexing (OCDM) technique is depicted as one of the most promising architectures of the next generation Passive Optical Network (PON). It allows users to share the same wavelength at the same time leading to considerable improvements in the network performance. This paper provides an OCDM multiuser network time domain implementation of a one dimensional optical orthogonal code and passive correlation filter. A detailed description of the network components including transmitter, receiver, encoder and the decoder are provided. The results of this study conclusively indicate a successful restoration of the information data bit that sent from different transmitters to corresponding users using a simple passive correlation receiver.
