Phase-induced intensity noise suppression wavelength-time modified double weight codes optical code division multiple access systems

Abstract

The wavelength-time modified double weight (MDW) optical division multiple access (OCDMA) scheme to reduce multiple access interference (MAI) and compensate bit error rate (BER) and phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN) in incoherent OCDMA systems is proposed. The analysis permits thorough understanding of PIIN, shot and thermal noises effect on 2-Dimensional (2-D) MDW OCDMA system performance. PIIN is the dominant noise factor in the OCDMA time-spreading scheme. The 2-D MDW code shows better tolerance to PIIN in comparison to others with enhanced system performance. We prove by numerical analysis that the PIIN is maximally suppressed by the proposed code through minimizing property of cross-correlation in comparison to the 2-D PDC and 2-D MQC OCDMA code.
