A new technique to construct zero cross-correlation code for SAC-OCDMA

Abstract

Spectral amplitude coding-optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) systems reduce the multiple access interference (MAl) but they are affected by phase induced intensity noise (PIIN). Zero cross-correlation code (ZCCC) is the code with the property of zero cross-correlation. Due to its cross-correlation property, it is not affected by PIIN. ZCCC uses the direct detection (DD) technique to detect signals. DD technique reduces the complexity of receiver and uses fewer components. A new technique is proposed to construct ZCCC without mapping in 3 steps. The proposed ZCCC require less FBG at encoder and decoder compare to ZCCC. It has 1 s (wavelengths) in form of combination of all weights.
