Performance analysis of new optical matrices for constructing two-dimensional temporal/spatial optical code-division multiple-access networks

This study presents designs for developing two-dimensional optical matrices exhibiting low cross correlation and excellent orthogonality. The key scheme is to use original one-dimensional temporal codes and a particular mapping technique. A two-dimensional temporal/ spatial optical code-division multiple-access network using the proposed optical matrices was also constructed. This study subsequently analyzed the effect of multiuser interference on code performance. The analysis result reveals that some families of optical codes applied to the network theoretically provided a favorable code performance level.
