A novel analytical approach is presented to evaluate the bit error rate (BER) performance of a multi-wavelength optical code division multiple access (MW-OCDMA) free space optical (FSO) system using optical domain encoder and sequence inverse keying (SIK) balanced photodetector direct detection receiver taking the effect of pointing errors into considerations. The analysis is carried out to find the expression for the signal, multi-access interference (MAI) and crosstalk at the output of the SIK receiver in presence of pointing error. The BER performance results are evaluated for different values of standard deviation of pointing error, code length, number of simultaneous user and other system parameters. It is found that, MW-OCDMA system offers improved BER performance over single wavelength OCDMA FSO system. However, the performance of an MW-OCDMA system is degraded due to the effect of pointing error between the laser transmitter and optical receiver and the system suffers significant power penalty at a given BER of 10 −9 . The penalty is found to be 11.0 dB, 24.0 dB and 30 dB for jitter standard deviation of 1.3, 1.8 and 2.5 respectively when code length is 512 and number of user is 8 for number of wavelength 8. Further, the penalty can be greatly reduced by increasing the code length for a given number of user and number of wavelength.
