Received: 1 August 2011; in revised form: 31 August 2011 / Accepted: 13 September 2011 / Published: 19 September 2011 Abstract: We propose a low cost polymeric optical waveguides-based optical CDMA encoder and decoder modules. The structures of the optical CDMA encoder and decoder modules are presented. The performance of the optical CDMA encoder and decoder modules is simulated using 10-chip binary phase-shift keying (BPSK) coding schemes. The optical CDMA encoder and decoder modules can effectively transmit and recover optical CDMA data streams. The SNR of the received signal is analyzed and determined to be primarily from the cross correlation with other channels. Keywords: polymer optical waveguide; optical CDMA; thermal optical effect 1. Introduction Code-Division Multiple-Access (CDMA) is a spectrum-spreading technique that enables many users to share transmission bandw
