Abstract

In this paper a study of a newly developed two- dimension optical code division multiple access (2D-OCDMA) code transmission named Time Hopping Odd Double Weight (THODW) using plastic optical fiber (POF) is proposed. The unique properties of POF have attracted attention for its potential to be used in transmitting signals within homes or buildings. The convenience of using POF with OCDMA systems is its compatibility with OCDMA codes used in constructing multi-user transmission systems, or control systems with different commands. POF can be used as a replacement for copper wires and conventional optical systems currently used for high-speed data transmission within the premises of a house or building. System implementation uses THODW, which emphasizes the unique properties of low bandwidth consumption, zero cross correlation, and simple encoder/decoder design as an advantage for using the OCDMA system in POF fibers. The system used BER as a validation factor, and two code weights are used in the study under different transmission rates. Results showed that using POF for indoor OCDMA transmission is valid, efficient and reaches up to 200 meters with a BER of 10-9..
