Performance Optimization of SAC-OCDMA Network Based on 2-D CS Code Utilizing Two Light Sources

This study introduces a novel 2-dimensional (2D) spectral/temporal code, termed 2D-cyclic shift (2D-CS) code, optimized for non-coherent Spectral Amplitude Coding Optical Code Division Multiple Access (SAC-OCDMA) systems. Computational results demonstrate that the 2D-CS code has fostered the SAC-OCDMA system’s performance whence spectral efficiency (SE), phase induced intensity noise (PIIN), and cardinality. Specifically, the 2D-CS code can increase cardinality by up to 117%, 89%, and 61% compared to one-dimensional CS (1D-CS), 2D-multi service (2D-MS), and 2D-diluted perfect difference (2D-DPD) codes, respectively. The system’s performance was evaluated using Optisystem software, showing significant improvements in quality factor (QF) and bit error rate (BER) with LED and laser light sources for four active users at 115 dBm transmitted power and 20,000 m distance.
