Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop a feasible modified multiphotodiode balanced detection (MMBD) technique suitable for application in spectral-amplitude-coding optical code-division multiple-access networks, which could mitigate the effect of phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN). Because PIIN is related to the beating between optical signals with wavelengths arriving simultaneously at a balanced photodetector, combining spectral partitioning and an MMBD scheme facilitates reducing PIIN, which tends to dominate performance. Therefore, the system using the proposed scheme exhibited an enhanced performance.
