Abstract

While optical codes in optical code-division multiple access (OCDMA) has been extensively investigated, research of optical coding labels in optical multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network is relatively unexplored. This paper studies optical labels with spectral-amplitude coding (SAC) for optical packet switching (OPS) network. The research focuses on implementing two different codes in optical labels: stuffed quadratic congruence (SQC) codes and M-sequence codes. Label-error rate (LER) is quantified to ascertain the influence of code pattern on system performance. The findings suggest that SQC coded label can support more numbers for label stacking, due to its very low cross-correlation value.
