Abstract

The performance of an incoherent spectral optical code-division multiple-access system using integrated en/decoders is experimentally evaluated. Results are shown for a 1.25-Gb/s transmission over 2.25-km standard single-mode fiber in case of a single and two active users. Additionally, the optical and electrical correlation values as well as the crosstalk factors are measured.
