The Impact of Dispersion Penalty and Device Losses on the Performance of Fiber-optic CDMA Systems

Abstract

Fiber-optic code division multiple access (FO-CDMA) system configuration is introduced. The device losses of active fiber connector, optical encoder/decoder, star coupler, transmission media, power penalty induced by fiber dispersion and the chirp effect of laser source are analyzed. Theoretical analysis of system bit error rate (BER) is achieved. Numerical results show that, dispersion power penalty makes system BER decline. The chirp effect of laser source can compensate for the dispersion power penalty for short transmission distance. For a FO-CDMA system with 20 active users, optical orthogonal code with weight 4 is users' address codes, and the distance between transmitter and receiver is 30 km, if BER is 10 -9 , then the transmitted power requires 4.4 dBm for normal single mode fiber (SMF) and 0.7 dBm for dispersion shift fiber (DSF). The system total loss is 44.9 dB for normal SMF and 41.2 dB for DSF.

Performance analysis of optical spectral-amplitude-coding CDMA systems using a super-fluorescent fiber source

Zou Wei, Hooshang Ghafouri‐Shiraz, Hossam M. H. Shalaby

It has been proposed that the arrived photon count obeys negative binomial (NB) distribution when a thermal optical source is used. In this letter, we have analyzed the bit-error rate (BER) of an optical spectral-amplitude-coding CDMA system using NB distribution. It has been shown that when the number of simultaneous users is small, the resultant BER is much lower than that calculated using Gaussian approximation. When the number of simultaneous users is large (for example N>19 when the effective power is -27 dBm), both NE distribution and Gaussian approximation give almost the same value for the BER of the system.

Effects of loss and dispersion on fiber-based quantum key distribution system

Shu Yang, Wei Liu, Yu‐Hong Han +1 more

Studied are the effects of fiber dispersion and loss and single-photon detector dark counts on key transmission rate and bit error rate of quantum key distribution system through theoretical analysis and computation. Research demonstrates that fiber loss is the main factor that influences quantum key transmission rate, while quantum bit error rate is related to fiber loss, dispersion, pulse width, dark counts and Rayleigh backscattering. Theoretical calculation indicates that in the current single-mode fiber-based plug & play quantum key distribution system with a dark counts of 10 -5/ns, the utilization of short pulse with 1550 nm wavelength and a 50 ps width can achieve the maximum transmission distance of 131 km. If we reduce dark counts or use G.653 dispersion-shifted fiber with short pulse, we can further improve key transmission rate and reduce the quantum bit error rate, thus effectively enhance the transmission distance of quantum key distribution system.

Performance comparison of number- and coherent-state optical CDMA in lossy direct-detection photon channels

Hossam M. H. Shalaby

The performance of optical code-division multiple-access (CDMA) communication systems utilizing number-state light field is evaluated. Lossy direct detection optical channels are assumed. Both on-off keying (OOK) and pulse-position modulation (PPM) schemes are investigated. For OOK, the exact bit error rate is evaluated taking into account the effect of both multiple-user interference and transmission loss. Upper and lower bounds on the bit error probability for PPM-CDMA systems are derived under the above considerations. The effect of both background and thermal noise is neglected in the analysis. A comparison between the performance of the number- and coherent-state OOK/PPM-CDMA networks is also presented. The results demonstrate that the number-state system requires less than half the energy consumed by the coherent-state one in order to attain the same performance.>

A Novel Scheme of Delay Attack-resistant Network Based on Optical Coding

Mandong Liu, Peng Ouyang, Jianhua Ji +1 more

We propose and investigate a novel scheme of delay attack-resistant network based on optical code division multiple access (OCDMA). The bit error rate (BER) is analyzed theoretically, and the closed expression of BER is obtained. The system has a corresponding optimal threshold to minimize the BER in different cases. At the same transmission power, the BER will decrease when the code weight increases. Furthermore, the maximum number of users is different with different code weight and transmission power. Optisystem simulation results show that OCDMA system has delay attack-resistant performance, which can effectively improve the physical layer security of optical network.

Influence of Optical Fiber Type Selection on Information Security of Fiber-optic Systems

Elena I. Andreeva, Dmitry Andreev

Solving the problem of ensuring the information security of the fiber-optics systems requires an analysis of possible methods of unauthorized access. Improving the technology of installation and operation of the fiber-optics systems not only enhances the quality and distance of information transmission over an optical cable, but also potentially expands the range of channels for possible leakage of information transmitted through it. Improving the construct of the optical fibers, the use of such technologies as wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), necessitates a complex analysis of increasing the information capacity and security of fiber-optics systems from unauthorized access. The paper compares the security of the fiber-optics systems built on the standard single mode fiber (SSMF) and dispersion shifted fiber (DSF). It is shown that, despite of the possibility of a higher information capacity, fiber-optics systems built on DSF require more careful control to avoid unauthorized access than in the case of using standard SSMF.
