ABSTRACT:A special architecture using a balance encoder and an on-off-keying (OOK) decoder is proposed for an optical code-division multiplexing system. Different channels can use a common code to encode the zero bits. The constant interference of the system makes the decoder simpler and faster. The performance of the proposed system proves to be superior to that of the pure OOK system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
