The PIIN is signal dependent source of noise which increases with signal power. The MPBD reduces the optical power at photodetection to mitigate the PIIN. To sustain the same average power, a multiple number of photodiodes are used. Our results show that the MPBD can support 67 more simultaneous users than the conventional differential balanced detection. © 2012 IEEE. date: 2012 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84867962492&doi=10.1109%2fICIAS.2012.6306194&partnerID=40&md5=42bff2a5312a5cc2ea94abc97d0ad447 id_number: 10.1109/ICIAS.2012.6306194 full_text_status: none publication: ICIAS 2012 - 2012 4th International Conference on Intelligent and Advanced Systems: A Conference of World Engineering, Science and Technology Congress (ESTCON) - Conference Proceedings volume: 1 place_of_pub: Kuala Lumpur pagerange: 237-240 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781457719677 citation: Alhassan, A.M. and Badruddin, N. and Saad, N.M. and Aljunid, S.A.
