Abstract :
Optical orthogonal codes are commonly used as signature codes for optical code-division multiple access systems. So far, research on 2-D optical orthogonal codes has mainly concentrated on the same autocorrelation and cross-correlation constraints. In this paper, we are concerned about optimal 2-D optical orthogonal codes with the autocorrelation λa and the cross-correlation 1. Some combinatorial constructions for 2-D (n×m,k,λa,1) -optical orthogonal codes are presented. When k=3 and λa=2, the exact number of codewords of an optimal 2-D (n×m,3,2,1)-optical orthogonal code is determined for any positive integers n ≡ 0,1,3,6,9,10 (mod 12) and m ≡ 2(mod 4).
