Noise limits due to light mixing in optical code-division multiple-access systems.

This thesis is concerned with the performance limits arising in optical code-division multiple-access (OCDMA) networks due to the mixing of light from the independent sources of each user. The scheme of spectral-amplitude OCDMA is shown here to be significantly limited by the phase-induced intensity...
