Abstract

A construction of a new family of optical orthogonal codes (OOCs) for use in code division multiple access (CDMA) fiber-optic networks is given. Previous families of OOCs are reviewed and basic requirements for successful implementation of the fiber-optic CDMA system given. The new code construction is based on Costas (1970) arrays and the codes are proved to be (/spl omega/(2p-3), /spl omega/, 1, 1), p a prime and /spl omega/*Q/spl les/p-1, where Q is the maximum number of users, OOCs. The probability of error (using the Gaussian approximation) in the multiuser system as a performance measure is calculated and compared with that of existing OOCs. The size of the code family is compared against the Johnson bound.
