Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) offers high statistical multiplexing gain in a busty traffic environment and is thought to be a more suitable solution in local-area network. There have been many codes proposed OCDMA systems, such as Hadamard code, Modified Frequency Hopping (MFH) code and Double Weight (DW) code family. The inspiration of this study is to improve the Modified Double Weight (MDW) code to give a better performance and to enhance the detection technique of DW code family. There are few aspects that have been identified in this study. First of all, the construction of MDW code is studied. Besides, the equation-based construction technique is examined and is then simulated using Virtual Basic software version 6.0. The findings of the project will lead to a new development of the MDW code by having new user-interface software program to generate the DW codeword with an ease
