Contribution of New Three-Dimensional Code Based on the VWZCC Code Extension in Eliminating Multiple Access Interference in Optical CDMA Networks

In order to solve the problem of one-dimensional code length, two-dimensional code spatial length, phase induced intensity noise PIIN effect, improved system capacity, and increased the number of simultaneous users, a new three-dimensional spectral/time/spatial variable weight zero cross correlation code for non-coherent spectral amplitude coding-optical code division multiple access (3D-VWZCC-SAC-OCDMA) is proposed in this paper. Its construction is based on a one-dimensional (1D) spectral sequence and two-dimensional (2D) temporal/spatial sequences, which are characterized by the property of zero cross correlation ZCC. The simulation results demonstrate that our code proves high immunity against PIIN noise and shot noise, it increases multiplexing ability when the passage is from (1D) and (2D) to (3D) up to 5.112 and 2.248 times, and it saves −7.04 dBm and −5.9 dBm of the receiver power due to simple detection at the receiver; furthermore, the 3D-VWZCC system capacity has outperformed the 3D-PD, 3D-PD/MD and 3D-DCS/MD codes, which reach 3686, 2908, and 3234 times, respectively. Moreover, our code offers better performance, in terms of data rates, with up to 2 Gbps compared to previous codes, which makes the system meet the requirements of optical communication networks. Further, 3D-VWZCC is also simulated in Optisystem software, where our code offers a transmission quality Q reaching 11.56 with a bit error rate BER of 1.99×10−31 despite a high number of users.

Suppression of Phase Induced Intensity Noise in Recirculating Delay Line Microwave Photonic Filters

High-Q microwave photonic filters may be realised with infinite impulse response (IIR) transfer functions, which are implemented typically with all-optical recirculating delay lines (RDL) operating in the incoherent regime. A key problem with these structures is phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN), which results in SNR degradation. Here we show that by using a hybrid optoelectronic loop instead of an all-optical loop for the RDL, it is possible to reduce the PIIN by up to 28 dB and to also achieve a higher finesse by letting the loop gain approach unity. The significance of the PIIN reduction is shown with the comparison of optoelectronic oscillators implemented with the all-optical RDL and the hybrid optoelectronic RDL, with the latter leading to a reduction in phase noise of 14 dB at 10 kHz frequency offset.

Source Location and Suppression of Phase Induced Intensity Noise in Fiber-Based Continuous-Wave Coherent Doppler Lidar

The phase induced intensity noise (PIIN) may seriously reduce the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of continuous-wave coherent Doppler lidar (CW-CDL), thereby limiting its performance in practical applications. In this paper, we propose to use optical frequency domain reflectometry (OFDR) technique to locate the PIIN sources and evaluate their intensities. According to the OFDR information, we demonstrate that the PIIN in our CW-CDL system is mainly induced by the crosstalk of polarization beam splitter. Then, the PIIN is reduced by setting fiber delay line, polarization control, and AR-coating. Finally, a wind Doppler signal at a distance of 80 meters is obtained on a clear day, and a typical SNR of 19.4 dB is achieved.

Performance Improvement of Optical Multiple Access CDMA Network Using a New Three-Dimensional (Spectral/Time/Spatial) Code

In this paper, a novel code named three dimensional single weight zero cross correlation (3D-SWZCC) code has been developed for spectral/time/spatial (S/T/S) encoding in non coherent optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) systems. This novel code is based on one dimensional (1D) and two dimensional (2D) SWZCC code already proposed. According to simulation results, it is really observed that 3D-OCDMA systems employing SWZCC code can resist against both thermal noise and phase induced intensity noise in other words; shot noise can be totally neglected. Mover, the proposed code can improve the system capacity up to 6, 8 and 2.98 times and save the receiver power level to reach − 8.39 dBm and − 1.5 dBm going by from (1D) to (2D) to (3D) respectively as well as this code has outperformed the already existing codes such 3D-perfect difference (3D-PD), 3D-perfect difference/multi diagonal (3D-PD/MD) and 3D-dynamic cyclic shift (3D-DCS/MD) and 3D-MD codes in terms of system’s capacity 4.82, 4.13, 3.75 and 1.29 times respectively that satisfies the optical communication networks requirements. In accordance with simulation results, 3D-OCDMA system based on SWZCC code achieves good performance and meets optical communication requirements due to low BER and high Q-factor it provides, equal to $${10}^{-27}$$ and 10 dB respectively for 1 Gbps data rate and a distance of 50 km up to 70 km.

Research on technology of 1550nm all-fiber continuous wave coherent Doppler wind lidar

In order to obtain the telemetry data of wind field 80 m ahead of the wind turbine, an all-fiber continuous wave coherent Doppler lidar (CW-CDL) system is demonstrated in this paper. The CW-CDL of all-fiber structure has advantages of the compact structure, good stability and low cost. However, there is inherent crosstalk in the optical circulator of the optical fiber module, the crosstalk light and the reference light enter the photon detector together to produce phase induced intensity noise (PIIN). Aiming to effectively solve the noise, we proposed a polarization control method by combining a polarization beam splitter and a quarter wave plate to reduce the PIIN in the system. The wind speed Doppler signal at 80 meters is obtained on a sunny day, and the typical signal-to-noise ratio can reach 21.7 dB.

Laser Phase Noise in Ring Resonator Assisted Direct Detection Data Transmission

We introduce an analytical model describing the statistical and spectral properties of laser phase noise induced intensity noise in ring-resonator-based modulation. The model is validated with single sideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SSB-OFDM) implemented with a silicon photonics resonantly-assisted Mach-Zehnder modulator (RA-MZM). Excellent agreement of experimental data with full link simulations, in which phase noise conversion is treated with the analytical model, confirms its validity. Moreover, we demonstrate 30 Gb/s raw data rate transmission with SSB-OFDM over 20 km of single-mode fiber with a bit error ratio below the 20% forward error correction (FEC) limit for three independently run channels of the RA-MZM, each supplied with off-the-shelf 1 MHz linewidth distributed feedback lasers.

An efficient 2D encoding/decoding technique for optical communication system based on permutation vectors theory

One dimensional encoding in optical communications has limitations in terms of the number of supported users and large bandwidth consumption. This study presents a new algorithm to generate two-dimensional (2D) encoding utilizing permutation vectors (PV) theory for incoherent multiple access network to suppress multiple access interference (MAI) and system complexity. The proposed code design approach is based on spectral/spatial techniques for code generation. All possible combinations of PV code-sets are obtained by utilizing all permutations of the vectors with the repetition of each vector weight (W) times. Furthermore, the 2D-PV code-set is constructed by combining two code sequences of the 1D-PV code. Furthermore, the transmitter–receiver architecture of the 2D-PV spectral/spatial (S/S) code based OCDMA system is presented. The Gaussian approximation is used to analyze the performance of the proposed OCDMA system with 2D- PV code by considering various noise sources (shot, thermal, and PIIN). Results indicate that the 2D-PV code provides increased cardinality by eliminating phase induced intensity noise (PIIN) effects with a minimum likelihood of interference between multiple user data. Simulation implementations validate the proposed system performance for an agreeable bit error rate (BER) of 10–9

Construction and performance analysis of a new SAC-OCDMA code based on Latin square matrix

In this paper a family of novel spreading code called Latin square code (LSC) is proposed for spectral amplitude coding-optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) system. The main feature of the proposed code is the zero cross-correlation which eliminates both multiple access interference (MAI) and phase induced intensity noise (PIIN). The code construction can be easily accomplished using Latin square matrix (LSM) for any weight and number of users. The simplicity in the construction code has made it a compelling candidate for future OCDMA applications. SAC-OCDMA system employing direct decoding is mathematically analyzed and then numerically simulated using Matlab and OptiSystem respectively. The results show the improvement given by the LSC code to the SAC-OCDMA system compared to the other codes such as: ZCC (zero cross-correlation) and MMS (modified multiservice) by allowing high cardinality and improving BER. Furthermore, the transmission quality, so that the BER does not exceed the value of $10^{-9}$, is ensured by the LSC code with a lower effective source power of -14.5 dBm, a bit rate of 4.6 Gb/s and a cardinality exceeding ZCC and MMS by 1.7 and 1.22 times respectively. The simulation results validate the mathematical analysis and show that the system makes it possible to increase the transmission distance without affecting QoS (quality of service)

A configurable transmitter-receiver structure to support QoS for spectral amplitude coding-optical code division multiple access

Abstract This paper proposes a new coding scheme for spectral amplitude coding (SAC) family, known as Sigma Shift Matrix (SSM). Two techniques are proposed for the design of SSM coding scheme. The first technique combines the identity and upper shift matrices to form an SSM coding matrix named as SSMI. The second approach adapts the assembly of a single – entry, lower and upper shift matrices to compose another SSM matrix called SSMs. Combination of these matrices generates variable SSM code families, which can provide more flexibility in code weight selection and the number of users respectively. Furthermore, a modified SSM (MSSM) coding scheme is proposed through bitwise ANDing of SSMI and SSMS to further elevate performance of the proposed setup. The optimized structure of SSM coding scheme eliminates the influence of multiple access interference (MAI) and alleviate the effect of phase induced intensity noise (PIIN). Numerical results show that MSSM, SSMI and S S M S SSMS outperform the existing coding schemes in descending order and proves to be an efficient candidate for the implementation of high capacity next generation of optical communication networks.

Design of Multiservice Code (MS) in Spectral/Temporal/Spatial Domain for OCDMA System

AbstractThis paper explores the design of multiservice code (MS) in spectral, time spreading and wavelength domains (3-Dimensional). The proposed 3D code is designed in such a manner that follows the ideal in phase unit cross correlation in spectral, time spreading and wavelength domains. The proposed encoder generates the MS code effectively in 3D domain and decoder suppresses the multi-user interferences successfully. Performance analyses are carried out by considering the all noises such as phase induce intensity noise(PIIN), shot noise and thermal noise. The analysis of 3D-MS code for variable code length is also performed for measurement of variation in bit error rate against the received power and number of active users in the design. The observed performances are also compared with existing codes such as 2D-MDW, 3D-PDC and 1D-MS code and the proposed code shows the better performance. The analysis of bit error rate of proposed code is carried out against the number of users at 0.622Gbits/s data rate and 0 dBm received power and comparison is also formed with the existing code such as 3D PD(M=21, N=3, P=3), 2DMDW(M=63, P=3), PDC(M=57, P=3) and 1D MS Code. It is noted that 3D MS code shows the better performance than the existing methods. Analysis is also evaluated for variable weight and variable length codes in order to observe the variation in bit error rate with variation in received power and number of simultaneous users.

MDW and EDW/DDW codes with AND subtraction/single photodiode detection for high performance hybrid SAC-OCDMA/OFDM system

In this paper, a hybrid system is introduced using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technique with spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA). In this system, the AND subtraction detection is used with the modified double weight (MDW) and enhanced double weight (EDW) codes, in addition to the single photodiode detection with the diagonal double weight (DDW) code. The proposed system achieves performance enhancement in the performance enhancement concerning the maximum allowable number of users, signal to noise ratio and (minimum) bit error rate (BER) $${\Re}$$. The proposed codes that used with AND subtraction detection techniques are: MDW and EDW, while the DDW codes are used with single photodiode detection (SPD). Detection techniques are investigated to reduce the effect of both the multiple access interference and phase induced intensity noise. A comparison is performed between the conventional SAC-OCDMA systems and OFDM with SAC-OCDMA. The obtained results reveal that OFDM with SAC-OCDMA gives better performance than conventional SAC-OCDMA. OFDM with SAC-OCDMA using DDW code with SPD detection can support a high bit rate up to 10 Gbps for 70 users with a BER of 10–9.

An efficient SAC-OCDMA system using three different codes with two different detection techniques for maximum allowable users

In this paper, three codes spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) are proposed and compared in terms of system performance including bit error rate (BER), number of active users, high achievable data rate, high signal to noise ratio (SNR) and the minimum received power that the OCDMA system supports to achieve a minimum BER value. The proposed codes are diagonal double weight (DDW) codes, modified double weight (MDW) codes and enhanced double weight (EDW). Different detection as AND subtraction detection technique and single photodiode detection (SPD) are investigated to reduce the effect of both the multiple access interference and phase induced intensity noise. The obtained results show that SAC-OCDMA using EDW code with SPD detection can achieve large number users with better BER (~ 10−9), SNR (> 20 dB), and minimum received power (~ − 20 dBm) relative to the other codes with other detection techniques.

Enhanced Performances of W/S SAC-OCDMA System Using LDPC Code

Abstract In an incoherent optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system using amplitude spectral coding (SAC), which exceeds 1.5 Gbps, it is difficult or impossible to make a transmission with a bit error rate better than 10–9. For this, it is necessary to associate an error correction code (ECC) to the SAC-OCDMA system. In this paper, we proposed an architecture of a two-dimensional SAC-OCDMA system (spectral (w) and spatial (s)) using multi-diagonal code (MD) as spreading code and low-density parity check code (LDPC) as ECC. According to the properties of the MD code and the proposed architecture, the phase induced intensity noise is eliminated, which has improved the performance of the system. The theoretically results shows that LDPC/2D-SAC-OCDMA allowing more than 40 users to be multiplexed compared to a non-coded 2D SAC-OCDMA system. This combination allowed us to increase the cardinality of the LDPC/SAC-OCDMA (W/S) system without using an optical hard limiter.

Analysis of noise suppression for OCDMA systems with fixed in-phase cross-correlation codes and single O/E converter

Performance of the non-coherent spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) systems is primarily degraded by the presence of noise sources generated during the process of optical-to-electrical (O/E) conversion at the receiving photodiode (PD). Phase induced intensity noise (PIIN) is generated by limitations in the coding scheme that leads to the mixing of adjacent spectrum's commonly known as multiple access interference (MAI). While, shot and thermal noise sources are generated at PD during the conversion of signal from O/E domain for further processing. This paper investigates and compares the performance of two detection techniques with reference to the received power units and suppression of noise sources while recovering and decoding enhanced multi diagonal (EMD) code. Both techniques namely spectral direct detection (SDD) and single PD detection (SPD) use one PD for O/E conversion to reduce the effect of shot and thermal noise. Numerical analysis using Gaussian approximation shows that SPD technique provides better performance for an acceptable bit error rate (BER) of 10−9 as compared with SDD technique, due to maximum recovery of power units in the received spectrum. Simulation analysis through a highly recognized software called Optisystem also validates the mathematical formalism and shows the EMD and SPD based SAC-OCDMA system is able to support 64 subscribers communication simultaneously beyond 1 Gbps of data while −10 dBm power is maintained at the receiving PD.

Performance analysis of spectral/spatial of OCDMA system using 2D hybrid ZCC/MD code

This paper proposes a new spectral/spatial code for Spectral Amplitude Coding in Optical Coding Division Multiple Access (SAC-OCDMA) called two-Dimensional hybrid ZCC/MD code. The new code combines two of the one –dimensional codes which are Zero Cross Correlation (1D ZCC) and Multi-Diagonal code (1D MD). Moreover, it produces a zero cross correlation property for each code. The main goal of this proposed code is to mitigate Phase Induced Intensity Noise and eliminate Multiple Access Interference (MAI). This proposed code can provide a better performance comparing to other codes as 2D FCC/MDW and 2D DPDC according to the obtained numerical analysis.

Effect of laser noise on the propagation of laser radiation in dispersive and nonlinear media

The effect of laser noise on the atmospheric propagation of high-power CW lasers and high-intensity short pulse lasers in dispersive and nonlinear media is studied. We consider the coupling of laser intensity noise and phase noise to the spatial and temporal evolution of laser radiation. High-power CW laser systems have relatively large fractional levels of intensity noise and frequency noise. We show that laser noise can have important effects on the propagation of high-power as well as high-intensity lasers in a dispersive and nonlinear medium such as air. A paraxial wave equation, containing dispersion and nonlinear effects, is expanded in terms of fluctuations in the intensity and phase. Longitudinal and transverse intensity noise and frequency noise are considered. The laser propagation model includes group velocity dispersion, Kerr, delayed Raman response, and optical self-steepening effects. A set of coupled linearized equations are derived for the evolution of the laser intensity and frequency fluctuations. In certain limits, these equations can be solved analytically. For example, we find that, in a dispersive medium, frequency noise can couple to and induce intensity noise (fluctuations) and vice versa. At high intensities, the Kerr effect can reduce this intensity noise. In addition, significant spectral modification can occur if the initial intensity noise level is sufficiently high. Finally, our model is used to study the transverse and longitudinal modulational instabilities. We present atmospheric propagation examples of the spatial and temporal evolution of intensity and frequency fluctuations due to noise for laser wavelengths of 0.85 μm, 1 μm, and 10.6 μm.

Two dimensional Fixed Right Shift (FRS) code for SAC-OCDMA systems

Abstract In this paper a new algorithm to generate two dimensional fixed right shifting (2D-FRS) code sequences is proposed, which is based on spectral/spatial incoherent OCDMA system. The proposed 2D-FRS algorithm is designed using 1D-FRS code with minimum cross correlation (MCC). The 2D-FRS codes enhance the system cardinality and offer elimination capability of MCC and its associated phase induced intensity noise (PIIN). Furthermore, the proposed algorithm allows multiple users with different code sequences to transmit data with minimum likelihood of interference. The architecture of transmitter-receiver structure of spectral/spatial 2D-FRS OCDMA system is presented. Gaussian approximation is used to analyze performance of the proposed 2D-FRS OCDMA system by investigating noise sources at photodiodes (PDs). It is shown that PD-1 and PD-3 have lower contribution in terms of noise power as compared to PD-0 and PD-2 due to division operation in MCC elimination process at the balanced detectors. Simulation results also validates the proposed system for an agreeable bit error rate (BER) of 10−9. It is observed that the 2-D FRS OCDMA system can support a higher number of users in deterministic and stochastic methods compared to the reported techniques such as Diagonal Eigenvalue Unity (DEU) and Two-Dimensional Diluted Perfect Difference codes (2D-DPD codes). The 2D-FRS cardinality surpassing the 2D-DPD and 2D-DEU by ≈71.21% and ≈9.09% respectively at the BER of 10−9. At 622 Mbits/s transmission data rate, the 2-D FRS meets the optical transmission requirements with lowest effective transmitted source power (Psr), −27.5 dBm in comparison to published codes.

Performance Enhancement of Optical PPM-CDMA Using Successive Interference Cancellation Scheme

A comprehensive mathematical model of Successive Interference Cancellation (SIC) using Direct Sequence (DS) and Spectral Amplitude Coding (SAC), which is employed in incoherent optical CDMA using On-Off Keying (OOK) Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) and On-Off Keying (OOK) considering the presence of Phase–Induced Intensity Noise (PIIN), shot noise and thermal noise is presented in this work. SIC scheme has the potential to suppress Multiple Access Interference (MAI). The concept of SIC is the following: detection is taken place in successive stages where the most reliable symbols are chosen at each stage. Where the interference contributed by the already detected symbols will be removed. It has been found out that, theoretically, the size of M-ary on optical CDMA system limits the MAI effect. Thus, the system performance improves with the increasing of M-ary PPM. Hence, the system using PPM has better performances if compared to the one using OOK, due to a lower average number of interfering optical pulses. In addition, a lot of users can be accommodated with SIC/SAC-optical CDMA based PPM signaling system instead of the SIC/SAC-optical CDMA based OOK one.

Development and Performance Improvement of a New Two-Dimensional Spectral/Spatial Code Using the Pascal Triangle Rule for OCDMA System

Abstract This paper introduces a novel code called two dimensional Pascal’s triangle zero cross correlation (2D-PTZCC) for spectral/spatial coding with its structure of the corresponding system to implement in spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) systems The novel code is derived from a one dimensional zero cross correlation (1D-ZCC) code using Pascal’s triangle rule. The analytical results prove that the proposed code has totally removed the multiple access interference (MAI), in addition the phase induced intensity noise (PIIN) influence is highly reduced due to the zero cross correlation (ZCC) property. Comparing with the recent developed two-dimensional codes like 2D multi diagonal (2D-MD), 2D dynamic cyclic shift (2D-DCS), 2D diluted perfect difference (2D-DPD) and 2D perfect difference (2D-PD) codes for the same code length. The results of simulation show that the suggested code improve the system capacity and increase the number of simultaneous users reaches 29 % and 64 % comparing to 2D-DPD and 2D-PD codes, respectively. As well, it supplies higher signal power and data bit rates whereas it saves effective source power around −0.81dBm for 2D-DCS and 2D-DPD codes and consumes minor light spectral width. The passage from 1D to 2D ameliorated 1.68 times the system capacity and saved around − 4.27 d B m $ - 4.27{\rm{ dBm}}$ the effective power for each user.

Influence of Code Size Variation on the Performance of 2D Hybrid ZCC/MD in OCDMA System

Several two dimensional OCDMA have been developed in order to overcome many problems in optical network, enhancing cardinality, suppress Multiple Access Interference (MAI) and mitigate Phase Induced Intensity Noise (PIIN). This paper propose a new 2D hybrid ZCC/MD code combining between 1D ZCC spectral encoding where M is its code length and 1D MD spatial spreading where N is its code length. The spatial spreading (N) code length offers a good cardinality so it represents the main effect to enhance the performance of the system compared to the spectral (M) code length according to the numerical results.
