Abstract

In this paper, the Spectral Amplitude Coding-Optical Code Division Multiple Access (SAC-OCDMA) system performance is investigated both in Free Space Optics (FSO) and Optical Fiber Systems (OFS) scenarios focusing on different types of codes. The codes having low cross correlation such as Random Diagonal (RD) and Khazani-Syed (KS), and zero cross correlation such as Zero Cross Correlation (ZCC) and Multi-Diagonal (MD) are used. In the FSO scenario, moderate turbulence and hazy weather conditions are considered. In the OFS scenario, nonlinear effects, attenuation, and dispersion are taken into consideration. Also, the performance of various codes is evaluated under different rain attenuation conditions. The simulation results show that the SAC-OCDMA codes performance is media-dependent. The ZCC codes give better performance than low cross correlation codes in both FSO and OFS scenarios. The MD code gives the best code performance in both scenarios with the ZCC code following. The RD code provides better performance than the KS code in the OFS scenario. However, in the FSO scenario, the KS code performs better than the RD code under the turbulence effect. Furthermore, the MD code performance under different bit rates is investigated to support tri-play services. Its security performance is also investigated.
