A feasible architecture for high-speed synchronous CDMA distribution network using optical processing

We propose a feasible architecture to implement tunable all-optical synchronous CDMA networks. Such a network is simply based on single rapidly tunable optical delay-lines and requires only a small number of electro-optic switches. Fast coding and decoding algorithms for synchronous prime-sequence codes are described. By using the proposed technique, all-optical synchronous CDMA networks can be constructed by integrated optics and can achieve a very high processing speed.
