Conference Title: 2015 International Conference on Communications, Signal Processing, and their Applications (ICCSPA) Conference Start Date: 2015, Feb. 17 Conference End Date: 2015, Feb. 19 Conference Location: Sharjah, United Arab Emirates In this paper, a new two-code keying approach to enable bipolar encoding in high-rate spectral-amplitude-coding optical code-division multiple-access (SAC-OCDMA) systems is suggested. The analytical expressions are developed for the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and bit-error rate (BER) of SAC-OCDMA system based on the recommended approach using multi-diagonal (MD) code. The results indicate that the proposed approach exhibits an improved BER performance in comparison to the traditional unipolar encoding with direct detection technique.
