A spread spectrum receiver and receiving methods are provided. Received data is physically reconstructed in the optical domain using a pair of coherently coupled frequency combs, one modulated by the received signal and one modulated by the code word, and then detecting the received data with a subrate detector comprised of detector array. Particular methods and receivers extract a timing difference between the received spread spectrum signal and the codeword from the phase shifts of Fourier terms of the product of the received spread spectrum signal and the codeword that can be measured from the combined combs.
