Development of a New Class of Zero Cross Correlation Codes for Optical CDMA Systems

The paper presents a method for the development of a new class of zero cross correlation optical code for Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) system using Spectral Amplitude Coding. The proposed code is called Modified Zero Cross Correlation Code (MZCC). The code has minimum length and can be constructed quite simply for any number of users and for any code weights. The code has better spectrum slicing properties and noise performance in term of Bit Error Rate. The Modified Zero Cross Correlation Code will be demonstrated in simulation using OptiSys. 6.0 to observe noise performance which is better as compared to the existing Zero Cross Correlation Code.
