    In this paper, the authors investigate the existence of a super-simple \((v,4,8)\) balanced incomplete block designs (BIBDs). They prove that such a design exists if and only if \(v \equiv 1 \pmod 3\) and \(v \geq 19\). Also, they construct many super-simple \((v,4,8)\) BIBDs for these values of \(v\). Finally, the authors mention some applications of the results in coding theory (about optical orthogonal codes and superimposed codes).
