Spectral phase encoded time spread optical code division multiple access technology for next generation communication networks [Invited]

Abstract

͑Doc. ID 83028͒ We overview and summarize the progress of the spectral phase encoded time spreading (SPECTS) optical code division multiple access (O-CDMA) technology. Recent progress included a demonstration of a 320 Gbit/ s ͑32-user ϫ 10 Gbit/ s͒ all-optical passive optical network testbed based on the SPECTS O-CDMA technology and a theoretical prediction of the spectral efficiency at 100% and above. In particular, InP-based integrated photonics allows implementation of SPECTS O-CDMA transmitters and receivers monolithically integrated on a chip. The integrated InP chip technology not only allows robust and compact configurations for practical and low-cost O-CDMA network deployments but also offers code reconfigurations at rapid rates for secure communication applications.

Femtosecond Laser Micro/Nano-manufacturing: Theories, Measurements, Methods, and Applications

“…Femtosecond laser pulse shaping in the time domain is a new fabrication method that can improve and control ultrafast laser fabrication [49][50][51][52][53]. During femtosecond laser fabrication, most photon energy is initially absorbed by electrons.…”

Adaptive and secure VCSEL FSO based on simple dual-polarized architecture for short distance transmission

“…To achieve signal security in the FSO traffic, applying the encryption algorithm in the upper layer is one of the methods [20][21][22]. Moreover, several optical technologies have been also proposed and demonstrated for the secure access, such as using the optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) [23], applying the data fragmentation multipath transmission (DFMT) configuration [24], and exploiting the spatial patterns as encryption key [25]. To increase the data rate of FSO and VLC signals, utilizing polarization-multiplexing transmission scheme to double the traffic capacity have been studied recently.…”

Dynamic scrambling scheme of arrayed-waveguide grating-based encryptors and decryptors for protection against eavesdropping

“…In addition, OCDMA techniques provide strong data security and enhance user signal confidentiality [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Shake [9,10] demonstrated two strategies for enhancing the robustness of OCDMA networks against unauthorized users by increasing the code complexity (i.e., increasing the code space size) and reducing the subscribers' transceiver power.…”
