Demonstration of all-optical CDMA with bipolar codes

Conference PaperUsing a fiber-based testbed, we experimentally verify that the advantageous correlation properties of bipolar spread-spectrum codes can be preserved in an optical channel using direct detection and all-optical encoder/decoders. The power spectrum of an erbium-doped superfluorescent fiber source is encoded, the codeword correlations are verified and rejection of multiple-access interference is demonstrate
