Abstract
We propose a novel integrated photonic decoder for two-dimensional (time spreading, wavelength hopping) optical code division multiple access. The decoder is composed of multiplexers–demultiplexers, variable delay lines, and a coupler, which processes complementary codes and utilizes balanced detection to reduce unwanted cross-correlation interference. We successfully carried out a transmission that demonstrated its effectiveness.
