New code with non-zero cross correlation for spectral amplitude coding optical code-division multiple-access systems

This paper presented the novel of a new class of code with Non-Zero Cross-Correlation for Spectral-Amplitude Coding in Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) systems. A new code namely Modified Non-Zero Cross Correlation Code (MNZCC). MNZCC code can be constructed easily for a given number of users K, weights and for a given cross correlation (λmax). The proposed code was demonstrated in simulation using OptiSys. 6.0 to observe the system performance. The results shown, that, the proposed code has superior performance in term of spectrum efficiency and reducing the effect of MAI and suppressing the effects of PIIN, with better bit error probability. The results are obtained for the MNZCC were compared with others existing optical codes such as DW code.
