Abstract
This paper extends a pulse propagation previously developed by Marcuse for the characterization of pulse transmission in single mode fibers to the case of pulsed optical code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems that employ encoders and decoders based on ladder networks. The model accounts for important degradation factors such as fiber dispersion, source linewidth (coherence), chip time duration and phase and delay mismatch between the source encoder and the destination decoder. Although results are only presented for the autocorrelation signal, the model can be employed to analyze the impact of the abovementioned.
