Abstract

2-D OCDMA is considered to be a viable technical solution for optical LANs, and a considerable amount of research effort has been devoted to various 2-D OCDMA techniques. In this paper, we propose two new interference models for 2-D OCDMA LANs employing unipolar random codes, and derive maximum-likelihood detectors based on these interference models. The BER performance of the maximum likelihood detectors and that of other existing detectors are compared through extensive computer simulations. In addition, the complexity of high-speed implementation of the detectors is assessed, and as a result, we found that the AND detector and the maximum-likelihood detectors for the pulsebinomial and the pulse-Poisson model offer the best trade-off between the BER performance and the facility of high-speed implementation.
