Abstract
We develop a methodology for numerical optimization of fiber Bragg grating frequency response to maximize the
achievable capacity of a spectral-amplitude-coded optical code-division multiple-access (SAC-OCDMA) system. The
optimal encoders are realized, and we experimentally demonstrate an incoherent SAC-OCDMA system with seven
simultaneous users. We report a bit error rate (BER) of 2.7 x 10<sup>-8</sup> at 622 Mb/s for a fully loaded network (seven users) using a 9.6-nm optical band. We achieve error-free
transmission (BER < 1 x 10<sup>-9</sup>) for up to five
simultaneous users.
