Abstract: | This paper presents the design of a new type of integrated services digital broadcasting (ISDB) systems which use a multirate optical fiber code-division multiplexing (OF-CDM) technique. The proposed system can efficiently multiplex various kinds of digital signals with multiple bit rates. This is feasibly achieved by using strict optical orthogonal codes of both auto- and cross-correlation constraints being “1” in multirate OF-CDM systems. Moreover, the low-cost design of OF-CDM transmitters is presented, and experimental demonstrations are also carried out. The measured results show that a transmission distance up to 13 km can be feasibly accomplished by using the proposed transmitter design and the external optical injection-locking scheme. It is expected that the proposed ISDB systems can be employed to cost-effectively transmit fast ethernet (125 Mbit/s), FDDI (125 Mbit/s), ATM (155 Mbit/s), and ESCON (200 Mbit/s) protocol data. Their potential applications include Internet services and multimedia broadcasting, such as videoconferencing, video on demand, HDTV, distance learning, and World Wide Web |
