Abstract :
The first two-dimensional wavelength-time optical code-division multiple access technology demonstrator operating over multimode fibre (MMF) is reported. Error-free operation for three users operating at 155 Mbit/s (OC-3) transmitting over 1 km of high-performance graded-index MMF is obtained. On the other hand, error floors are observed when transmitting over the same length of step-index MMF
