A system and method for performing phase-encoded optical Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA). A transmitter encodes digital data onto a wavelength of an optical signal using a codeword, splits the optical signal into a plurality of beams having separated frequency components, selectively phase-shifts the beams in accordance with the codeword, recombines the beams into the optical signal, and transmits the optical signal. The receiver receives the optical signal, splits the optical signal into a plurality of beams having separated frequency components, selectively phase-shifts the beams in accordance with the codeword, recombining the beams into the optical signal, and decodes the digital data from a wavelength of the optical signal using the codeword.
