In this paper, two-dimensional (2D) wavelength/time codes are designed and implemented. The 2D codes are constructed by a technique based on folding of Golomb rulers. The performance evaluation of OCDMA system based on wavelength/time code has been analyzed by measuring the values of bit error rates and eye diagrams for different number of active users. It is shown that eye opening decreases and BER increases with increase in number of active users. It is also shown that BER further increases with increase in number of active users when number of decoders increases on receiver side. Hence, it is concluded that multiple access interference (MAI) is the dominant source of BER and there is graceful degradation in system performance when number of simultaneously active users increases. The received optical power is also measured at different transmission distance. It has been observed that …
