Optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) is one of the promising technologies to be implemented using all-optical networks. The performance of OCDMA system is largely dependent on the particular codes used for encoding. A proper choice of code family as well as code dimension is of prime importance due to various transmitter and receiver design considerations. This paper mainly aims at evaluation of desirable characteristics of various spreading codes based on the prime sequences. An extensive effort has been done in this paper to evaluate the correlation characteristics of various types of one-dimensional (1-D), 2-D and 3-D prime codes for OCDMA communication system. The detailed mathematical modelling has also been explained. It is observed that an addition in coding dimension leads to significant improvement in the code characteristics.

Optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system provides highly secured transmission in addition to its capabilities to support asynchronous transmission and soft blocking. Two-dimensional OCDMA codes are chosen in this paper due to their high cardinality, good spectral efficiency and flexibility in their construction methods against direct sequence codes. This paper focuses on study of impact of multiple access interference (MAI) at high data rates for 2-D prime codesbased OCDMA system. It is shown that how the change in number of simultaneous users affects the transmission quality. Further, performance of the system is analysed in terms of bit error rate, received electrical power and eye openings. In addition, this paper also shows a comparative analysis of 2-D codes-based OCDMA system and wavelength division multiple access (WDMA) system in order to justify the improved performance of the proposed system. It is observed that the performance of 2-D OCDMA system is much better than WDMA system in terms of quality as well as security.
