ABSTRACT
In this study, a two dimensional (2-D) wavelength hopping and time spreading (WHTS) optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) code is designed using Sparse ruler technique. The proposed 64 bit 2-D code is constructed by an algorithm based on random spacing of sparse codes referred in this work as Random Sparse Code (RSC). The performance of the proposed 2-D RSC is evaluated in terms of bit error rate (BER), received signal power and time domain analysis of received signals. The system performance of the OCDMA system utilizing 2-D RSC code improved significantly due to less BER, low cross correlation property and simple encoder/decoder design. The output BER is much lower at a data rate of 1.25 gbps and 2.5 gbps for a distance of 100 km with ITU-T standard single mode fiber with attenuation level of 0.2dB/km.
