Simulation of 2D Optical Code Division Multiple Access System with Different Receiver Structures using Multi-Wavelength Optical Orthogonal Codes

Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in simulating a two-dimensional Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) system with different receiver’s structures using Multi-Wavelength Optical Orthogonal Code (MWOOC) with parameters (L×F,3,1,1). These structures are Conventional Correlation Receiver (CCR) with and without Hard Limiter (HL) and the Parallel Interference Cancellation (PIC). The performances comparison in term of bit error rate (BER) shows that the PIC receiver is the most efficient receiver against the Multiple Access Interference (MAI) effects than the others receivers.
