Abstract :
An all-fibre technique for the coherent spectral encoding and decoding of optical pulses is proposed. The spectral coding of optical waveforms is achieved using pairs of oppositely chirped and suitably coded fibre gratings. The application potential to lightwave code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) communications is demonstrated.
