An Encoder/Decoder Device Including a Single Reflective Element for Optical Code Division Multiple Access Systems

摘要

In this paper, we present an encoding/decoding device for OCDMA communications. The device uses a single reflecting element to perform both the encoding of the outgoing signal and the decoding of the incoming signal. A directional optical setup allows differentiating the origin of the signals to forward the outgoing signals after encoding to the network and the incoming signals after decoding to a receiver.
