Synthesis and demonstration of high speed, bandwidth efficient optical code division multiple access (CDMA) tested at 1 Gb/s throughput

Code division multiple access (CDMA) permits concurrent communication over all virtual channels (in principle), independent of the data rate and the network size. In reality, most CDMA approaches have a bandwidth penalty due to the code length and a loss penalty due to the broadcasting required by C...

Description
Summary:Code division multiple access (CDMA) permits concurrent communication over all virtual channels (in principle), independent of the data rate and the network size. In reality, most CDMA approaches have a bandwidth penalty due to the code length and a loss penalty due to the broadcasting required by CDMA. Both of these penalties can be reduced or ameliorated by means of multi-attribute coding. Matrices constructed from relatively inefficient (0,1) pulse sequences are suitable multi-attribute non-coherent CDMA codes which are both bandwidth and broadcast efficient. We exhibit a novel approach to synthesizing matrix CDMA codes, develop a 4/spl times/4 physical model, and demonstrate concurrent communication experimentally at concurrent data rates of 100-, 150-, and 250 Mb/s per port.< >
