Abstract :
The author investigates the performance of direct-detection optical code division multiple access (CMDA) systems which employ avalanche photodiode (APD) detectors. In particular, an accurate and extremely computationally efficient importance sampling method for estimating the probability of bit error of such systems is presented.
