This letter presents a single photodiode detection (SPD) as an effective technique for eradicating both multiple-access interference (MAI) and phase-induced intensity noise (PIIN) in spectralamplitude coding optical code-division multiple-access (SAC-OCDMA) systems. Mathematical analysis and simulation experiments are used to investigate the spectral efficiency (SE) of SAC-OCDMA systems utilizing different detection techniques. Results show that the SPD technique significantly enhances the SE compared to AND as well as modified-AND subtraction detections. Keywords: SAC-OCDMA, single photodiode detection (SPD), spectral efficiency (SE), MAI, PIIN Classification: Fiber optics, Microwave photonics, Optical interconnection, Photonic signal processing, Photonic integration and systems
