Abstract :
A new optically switched correlator receiver architecture, based on the principle of unipolar-bipolar correlation, is proposed for optical fibre CDMA networks. The receiver BER performance is assessed as a function of the incident optical power for noncoherent transmission and direct detection, with the number of simultaneous users as a parameter
