Abstract

The huge and increasing need of information in the industrial world demands an enormous potential of bandwidth in telecommunication systems. Optical communication provides all participants with the whole spectrum of digital services like videophone, cable TV, video conferencing and online services. Especially fast and low cost opto-electrical receivers are badly needed in order to expand fiber networks to every home (FTTH--fiber to the home or FTTD--fiber to the desk, respectively). This paper proposes a new receiver structure which is designed to receiver optical data which are encoded by code division multiple access techniques (CDMA). For data recovery in such CDMA networks phase locked loops (PLL) are needed, which synchronize the local oscillator with the incoming clock. In optical code division multiple access networks these PLLs could be realized either with an electrical PLL after opto-electrical converting or directly in the optical path with a pure optical PLL.
