Code division multiplexing lightwave networks based upon optical code conversion.

Lightwave networks realized through code division multiple access techniques are extensively studied to determine their ultimate capabilities. Here, these concepts are extended to network implementation by introducing an optical code division multiplexing (OCDM) multihop strategy using optical codin...
