In this paper, we demonstrate the applicability of the OFDM multiple-access technique to optical chaos-based communications. We show that using an optoelectronic oscillator with multiple nonlinear delayed feedback loops, it is possible to transmit simultaneously multiple data streams with better spectral efficiency than a single stream.
