Abstract

We provide the first demonstration of encoding-decoding two-dimensional wavelength-time bipolar codes for optical code-division multiple access systems with differential detection, including a verification of multiaccess interference rejection. We implement the all-optical encoders and decoders using commercially available wavelength-division-multiplexing components.
