As a result, \"tunable prime\" and \"modified 2\u0000 n\u0000 \" coding architectures, respectively, for the prime-sequence and 2\u0000 n\u0000 codes have been proposed to improve the power-efficiency.1,4 Recently, \"2\u0000 n\u0000 primesequence\" codes, a collection of symmetric binary sequences with weight 2\u0000 n\u0000 , have been introduced and pose the pseudo-orthogonal and algebraic properties of the original prime-sequence codes.5 To effectively utilize these codes, a novel coding architecture, which consists of a \"modified\" tunable prime encoder and a 2\u0000 n\u0000 decoder, is proposed to substantially reduce the power loss, cost, and complexity of the systems using optical CDMA.","PeriodicalId":276336,"journal":{"name":"1994 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127374988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ARROWs belong to the class of leaky Bragg waveguides in integrated optoelectronics.1 Despite core sizes of dc = 5 µm quasi-monomode waveguiding is achieved by reflection at Bragg layers. These layers operate in antiresonance for the fundamental mode, i.e., due to its optical path length the attenuation coefficient is rather small (typically α < 0.5 dB/ cm) for this mode only compared to every other leaky mode (typically α > 20 dB/cm). The device exhibits antiresonant guiding in both cross sectional dimensions, so the ARROW fundamental mode profile is similar in shape and size to that of a monomode glass fiber. Hence, efficient ARROW based fiber-chip coupling can be achieved with coupling coefficients of η ≃ 95%. We used AlGaAs/ GaAs as an exemplary material system.","PeriodicalId":276336,"journal":{"name":"1994 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128401087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
