Performance analysis of direct-detection optical CDMA communication systems with avalanche photodiodes

Direct-detection optical code-division multiple-access (CDMA) communication systems with avalanche photodiode (APD) photodetectors are investigated. A Chernoff upper bound, modified Chernoff upper bound, and Gaussian approximation on the probability of bit error are presented for general APDs and ar...
