Reduction of interchannel interference noise in a two-channel grating-based OCDMA system using a nonlinear optical loop mirror

We show that a nonlinear optical switch can be used to suppress the interchannel noise generated under multiuser operation within a coherent, direct-sequence optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) system. By incorporating a simple nonlinear optical loop mirror (NOLM) within the receiver, we d...
