Abstract :
Optical CDMA presents several properties very useful for access networks. The generation and recovery of codes has already several solutions, however the conversion of these codes for band reuse or interconnectivity of the networks has not been sufficiently studied. In this paper we suggest and compare two all-optical router architectures that can perform this function
