Abstract

This study demonstrates a 4-node OCDMA network testbed at 102 Gchip/s and studies its scalability to 10 simultaneous users. The results show small performance degradation with increased network size (∼ 0.5 dB) and ∼ 4 dB for four and ten users respectively) and demonstrate the viability of OCDMA as a solution for high-speed, asynchronous optical access networks.
