In this paper, the bit error rate (BER) performance of eight user (10.7 Gb/s per user) Optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system using fiber bragg grating (FBG) encoder/decoder (E/D) is analyzed with a) optical thresholding b)optimum fixed decision thresholding and c)balanced detection. The two critical issues with OCDMA system is multiple access interference (MAI) and signal interference beat noise (BN).To mitigate these effects various coding schemes and receiver structures were presented and compared with the resulting BER without increasing much of the receiver complexity. The effects of photodetector and receiver noises are not considered as these noises have no much effect on the receiver performance. The system model is presented and the results are given highlighting the difference in performance.
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.
