Analysis of OOC Code & Their Performance Metrics”

In this paper we analyze optical orthogonal code (OOC) and their performance metrics. Expansion efficiencyfactor and throughputs of OOC are the new performance metrics of OOC.Expansion efficiency means ability to expand sub wavelength-switching capacity of the optical network. This factor show reducing the code length (n), for the same code constraints(C), enhances the capacity of sub wavelengthoptical code switched networks like optical CDMA (OCDMA). As various different construction methods for OOC are available, out of these some of the methods we analyze. Depending on the construction methods length (n), weight (w) and cardinality (C) of OOC set are calculated. We measure expansion efficiency for different construction methods of OOC.
