A novel OCDMA drop unit based on fiber gratings and 2D wavelength-time codes

摘要

A novel drop unit for the optical code-division multiple access(OCDMA) based on fiber Bragg gratings and two-dimensional wavelength-time code is studied.The simple OCDMA drop unit can drop a code channel without disturbing the rest code channels.A similar unit for dropping a group of code channels is also proposed.Numerical simulation is given.The system delay can decrease by substituting the electrieal driving optical switch with a specific optical driving.The single channel drop unit can also be the basis for multiple channels drop.
