摘要:This paper investigates the avalanche photodiode (APD) gain effect on spectral-amplitude coding optical code-division multiple-access (SAC-OCDMA) system using a modified-AND subtraction detection in comparison to the conventional AND detection scheme. Analytical results are presented to investigate the APD gain impact on the bit-error rate (BER) performance. In addition, we confirm the influence of the APD over the positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) photodiode on the system performance using data transmission simulations.
