Single integrated device for optical CDMA code processing in dual-code environment
We report on the design, fabrication and performance of a matching integrated optical CDMA encoder-decoder pair based on holographic Bragg reflector technology. Simultaneous encoding/decoding operation of two multiple wavelength-hopping time-spreading codes was successfully demonstrated and shown to support two error-free OCDMA links at OC-24. A double-pass scheme was employed in the devices to enable the use of longer code length
Optical code-division multiple access system and optical signal processing
This thesis presents our recent researches on the development of coding devices, the
investigation of security and the design of systems in the optical cod-division multiple
access (OCDMA) systems. Besides, the techniques of nonlinear signal processing used
in the OCDMA systems fire our imagination, thus some researches on all-optical signal
processing are carried out and also summarized in this thesis.
Two fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based coding devices are proposed. The first coding
device is a superstructured FBG (SSFBG) using ±π/2-phase shifts instead of
conventional 0/π-phase shifts. The ±π/2-phase-shifted SSFBG en/decoders can not only
conceal optical codes well in the encoded signals but also realize the reutilization of
available codes by hybrid use with conventional 0/π-phase-shifted SSFBG en/decoders.
The second FBG based coding device is synthesized by layer-peeling method, which
can be used for simultaneous optical code recognition and chromatic dispersion
compensation.
Then, two eavesdropping schemes, one-bit delay interference detection and
differential detection, are demonstrated to reveal the security vulnerability of differential
phase-shift keying (DPSK) and code-shift keying (CSK) OCDMA systems.
To address the security issue as well as increase the transmission capacity, an
orthogonal modulation format based on DPSK and CSK is introduced into the OCDMA
systems. A 2 bit/symbol 10 Gsymbol/s transmission system using the orthogonal
modulation format is achieved. The security of the system can be partially guaranteed.
Furthermore, a fully-asynchronous gigabit-symmetric OCDMA passive optical
network (PON) is proposed, in which a self-clocked time gate is employed for signal
regeneration. A remodulation scheme is used in the PON, which let downstream and
upstream share the same optical carrier, allowing optical network units source-free. An
error-free 4-user 10 Gbit/s/user duplex transmission over 50 km distance is reazlied.
A versatile waveform generation scheme is then studied. A theoretical model is
established and a waveform prediction algorithm is summarized. In the demonstration,
various waveforms are generated including short pulse, trapezoidal, triangular and
sawtooth waveforms and doublet pulse.

In addition, an all-optical simultaneous half-addition and half-subtraction scheme is
achieved at an operating rate of 10 GHz by using only two semiconductor optical
amplifiers (SOA) without any assist light.
Lastly, two modulation format conversion schemes are demonstrated. The first
conversion is from NRZ-OOK to PSK-Manchester coding format using a SOA based
Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The second conversion is from RZ-DQPSK to RZ-OOK
by employing a supercontinuum based optical thresholder
Throughput Performance Evaluation of Multiservice Multirate OCDMA in Flexible Networks
\u3cp\u3eIn this paper, new analytical formalisms to evaluate the packet throughput of multiservice multirate slotted ALOHA optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) networks are proposed. The proposed formalisms can be successfully applied to 1-D and 2-D OCDMA networks with any number of user classes in the system. The bit error rate (BER) and packet correct probability expressions are derived, considering the multiple-access interference as binomially distributed. Packet throughput expressions, on the other hand, are derived considering Poisson, binomial, and Markov chain approaches for the composite packet arrivals distributions, with the latter defined as benchmark. A throughput performance evaluation is carried out for two distinct user code sequences separately, namely, 1-D and 2-D multiweight multilength optical orthogonal code (MWML-OOC). Numerical results show that the Poisson approach underestimates the throughput performance in unacceptable levels and incorrectly predicts the number of successfully received packets for most offered load values even in favorable conditions, such as for the 2-D MWML-OOC OCDMA network with a considerably large number of simultaneous users. On the other hand, the binomial approach proved to be more straightforward, computationally more efficient, and just as accurate as the Markov chain approach.\u3c/p\u3
Ultra Wideband Impulse Radio Systems with Multiple Pulse Types
In an ultra wideband (UWB) impulse radio (IR) system, a number of pulses,
each transmitted in an interval called a "frame", is employed to represent one
information symbol. Conventionally, a single type of UWB pulse is used in all
frames of all users. In this paper, IR systems with multiple types of UWB
pulses are considered, where different types of pulses can be used in different
frames by different users. Both stored-reference (SR) and transmitted-reference
(TR) systems are considered. First, the spectral properties of a multi-pulse IR
system with polarity randomization is investigated. It is shown that the
average power spectral density is the average of the spectral contents of
different pulse shapes. Then, approximate closed-form expressions for the bit
error probability of a multi-pulse SR-IR system are derived for RAKE receivers
in asynchronous multiuser environments. The effects of both inter-frame
interference (IFI) and multiple-access interference (MAI) are analyzed. The
theoretical and simulation results indicate that SR-IR systems that are more
robust against IFI and MAI than a "conventional" SR-IR system can be designed
with multiple types of ultra-wideband pulses. Finally, extensions to
multi-pulse TR-IR systems are briefly described.Comment: To appear in the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications -

Study of spread spectrum multiple access systems for satellite communications with overlay on current services
The feasibility of using spread spectrum techniques to provide a low-cost multiple access system for a very large number of low data terminals was investigated. Two applications of spread spectrum technology to very small aperture terminal (VSAT) satellite communication networks are presented. Two spread spectrum multiple access systems which use a form of noncoherent M-ary FSK (MFSK) as the primary modulation are described and the throughput analyzed. The analysis considers such factors as satellite power constraints and adjacent satellite interference. Also considered is the effect of on-board processing on the multiple access efficiency and the feasibility of overlaying low data rate spread spectrum signals on existing satellite traffic as a form of frequency reuse is investigated. The use of chirp is examined for spread spectrum communications. In a chirp communication system, each data bit is converted into one or more up or down sweeps of frequency, which spread the RF energy across a broad range of frequencies. Several different forms of chirp communication systems are considered, and a multiple-chirp coded system is proposed for overlay service. The mutual interference problem is examined in detail and a performance analysis undertaken for the case of a chirp data channel overlaid on a video channel
Two-stage code acquisition in wireless optical CDMA communications using optical orthogonal codes
In this paper, we analyze the performance of code acquisition system in atmospheric optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) communications using optical orthogonal codes. Memory introduced by temporal correlation of optical fading process precludes us from using the Markov chain model for a code acquisition analysis. By considering this issue, we discuss how to extend the applicability of the Markov chain model to the atmospheric OCDMA communications. We analyze and compare the performance of correlator and chip level detector (CLD) structures in the acquisition system. In our analysis, we consider the effects of free space optical channel impairments, multiple access interference, and receiver thermal noise in the context of semi-classical photon-counting approach. Furthermore, we evaluate the performance of various two stage schemes that utilize different combinations of active correlator, matched filter, and CLD in search and verification stages, and we find the optimum acquisition scheme among them. Numerical results show significant improvement in reducing the acquisition time and required power for synchronization using our optimum scheme in the wireless OCDMA communications
Dark signalling and code division multiple access in an optical fibre LAN with a bus topology
This thesis describes an optical fibre network that uses a bus topology and Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). Various potential configurations are analysed and compared and it is shown that a serious limitation of optical CDMA schemes using incoherent correlators is the effect of optical beating due to the presence of multiple incoherent optical signals at the receiver photodiode. The network proposed and analysed in this thesis avoids beating between multiple optical fields because it only uses a single, shared, optical source. It does this through the SLIM (Single Light-source with In-line Modulation) configuration in which there is a continuously-operating light source at the head-end of a folded bus, and modulators at the nodes to impose signals on the optical field in the form of pulses of darkness which propagate along the otherwise continuously bright bus. Optical CDMA can use optical-fibre delay-line correlators as matched filters, and these may be operated either coherently or incoherently.Coherent operation is significantly more complex than incoherent operation, but incoherent correlators introduce further beating even in a SLIM network. A new design of optical delay-line correlator, the hybrid correlator, is therefore proposed, analysed and demonstrated. It is shown to eliminate beating. A model of a complete network predicts that a SLIMbus using optical CDMA with hybrid correlators can be operated at TeraBaud rates with the number of simultaneous users limited by multiple access interference (MAI), determined only by the combinatorics of the code set
