contents Optical orthogonal codes (OOCs) are sets of $(0,1)$-sequences with good auto- and cross-correlation properties. They were originally introduced for use in multi-access communication, particularly in the setting of optical CDMA communications systems. They can also be formulated in terms of families of subsets of $\mathbb{Z}_v$, where the correlation properties can be expressed in terms of conditions on the internal and external differences within and between the subsets. With this link there have been many studies on their combinatorial properties. However, in most of these studies it is assumed that the auto- and cross-correlation values are equal; in particular, many constructions focus on the case where both correlation values are $1$. This is not a requirement of the original communications application. In this paper, we "decouple" the two correlation values and consider the situation with correlation values greater than $1$. We consider the bounds on each of the correlation values, and the structural implications of meeting these separately, as well as associated links with other combinatorial objects. We survey definitions, properties and constructions, establish some new connections and concepts, and discuss open questions.
