Spread-Spectrum Techniques in Optical Communication Using Transform Domain Processing

A method of applying spread-spectrum techniques to optical communication is presented. The interference-suppression capability of spread-spectrum systems is shown to be enhanced by optical transform domain processing, and a design for spectral coding at optical frequencies is given. The encoding system is based on optical pulse compression and shaping. Several possible implementations of this system are suggested, and applications to fiber optics, laser radar, free-space optical communications, and other systems are discussed. >
