Classes of optical orthogonal codes from arcs in root subspaces

We present new constructions for (n, w, ) optical orthogonal codes (OOC) using techniques from finite projective geometry. In one case codewords correspond to (q - 1)-arcs contained in Baer subspaces (and, in general, kth-root subspaces) of a projective space. In the other construction, we use sublines isomorphic to PG(1, q)
