Demonstration of hybrid OCDMA/OPS networks based on optical code processing using superstructure FBG and PLC encoder/decoders

摘要

The transmission of coherent optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) traffic over optical-code-based optical packet switching (OPS) network has been proposed and successfully demonstrated in experiment. Full function of the OPS node has been successfully demonstrated in the experiment with coherent OCDMA traffic. Hybrid using planar lightwave circuit and superstructured fiber Bragg grating en/decoder for packet label and OCDMA payload encoding/decoding has been verified as well. Error free (<10{sup}-12) transmissions have been achieved for 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps payload data and up to two OCDMA channels.
