We demonstrate a novel balanced differential optical transmitter for spectrally encoded optical code-division multiple-access (CDMA) systems. The proposed structure is suitable for making optical signaling bipolar using complementary spectral encoding. An optical CDMA link with a pair of programmable transmitter and receiver is tested at the OC-3 transmission speed (155 Mb/s) for single-channel transmission. Unmatched code rejection is also demonstrated.
