AbstractIntended for optical CDMA applications, construction of a new family of code sequences based on hybrid wavelength hopping/ time spreading scheme is presented in this research study. The different types of hybrid system named ep/ prime sequence (using extended prime code sequence for spreading and prime code sequence for hopping pattern), tel prime sequence (using truncated costas OOC for spreading and prime sequence for hopping pattern), and bmc/ prime sequence (using block multiplexing code sequence for spreading and prime sequence for hopping pattern) are introduced. Moreover, performance of the newly constructed codes is analyzed by using a Gaussian approximation for optical multiple-access interference and the bit error rate (BER) in terms of the code length and the number of simultaneous users are discussed. It is shown that the newly constructed code sequences exhibit excellent auto correlation and cross correlation properties (i.e., auto correelation sidelobes not existing). Analysis of the security aspects of the newly constructed hybrid systems is presented. It is shown that, system security can be increased by increasing the number of discrete wavelength or employing asymmetric system (with different number for spreading pattern and hopping pattern). The system can be configured so that even in the pessimistic case of incomplete detection with only half wavelengths, many years would be needed to penetrate the network. Because of the increased number of station and the number of simultaneous users that can be supported (for given BER), proposed scheme is suitable for truly asynchronous optical LANs with increased security.
