The use of only one 10 GHz band reject filter at the remote node (RN) allows WDM-PON to have a minimal value of the optical interferometric noise, which is induced by Rayleigh backscattering (RB), in the main lobe of each downstream (DS) optical signal. Utilizing this filter achieves an optical interferometric noise reduction in the upstream (US) direction and the simulation results indicate an enhancement in the performance of a bit error rate (BER) to be 10-11 and in the Q-factor to be above 6.0. Owning to the US signal modulation without extra light source, this architecture successes in power saving and efficient utilization of the wavelength.

It is mainly needed when physical connection between the transmitter and the receiver is practically impossible and when high bandwidth data transmission is expected. This paper walks through the investigation of the performance of FSO communication adopting spectral amplitude coding optical code division multiple access (SAC-OCDMA) systems at different weather scenarios. The suggested system uses enhanced double weight codes as signature codes by 3 clients, simultaneously. To eliminate multiple access interference and phase induced intensity noise, two different detection schemes are used single photodiode (SPD) and modified-AND subtraction detection schemes. Furthermore, a comparison between PIN and APD detectors is performed. The performance is evaluated through its propagation distance, received power, Q-factor and bit error rate (BER). The obtained numerical results reveal both Q-factor and BER are modified by 30%. Accordingly, the system performance is enhanced by 30%, when using SAC-OCDMA-FSO with SPD detection technique compared with modified-AND subtraction technique.

Atmospheric turbulence degrades the performance of FSO systems. To estimate the received signal, Channel State Information (CSI) or blind detection is used.

In this work, approaches based on the spread spectrum (SS) techniques are proposed to overcome this drawback. An optimization algorithm is developed and appropriate software is employed to apply the proposed methodology on a specific multimode fiber. Extensive simulation results are produced and are presented herein. The numerical results have shown that the order of magnitude of the maximum data rate, R, supported at different CDMA gains, in order to achieve a bit error rate (BER) value smaller or equal to a convergent point, is related to the length of the multimode fiber, L, and the CDMA technique used. The Hybrid CDMA type direct sequence/frequency hopping (DS/FH) is applied to eliminate the disadvantage of DS which is the near-far effect (different power levels of users at optical fiber input).

Effects of link bandwidth, number of channels and traffic load are studied. The obtained results show that one parameter can compensate another to reach the same BLR. For example, one can decrease the link bandwidth by 50% and increase the number of channels while maintaining the same BLR. This leads to have many OBS networks designs giving same performance.

A comparison between routing decision based on standard open shortest path first (OSPF) routing protocol and a proposed new OSPF metric is performed. The proposed new OSPF metric takes into account optical parameters in its dependency as number of channels, load and link bandwidth. The result shows better routing decisions leading to better BLR and utilization for OBS networks.
