Modal interference in homogeneous planar multimode optical waveguides results in a self-imaging property by which an input field is reproduced in single or multiple images at periodic intervals along the propagation direction of the guide. Using this property, multimode interfer…

Several countermeasures to optical beat interference (OBI) in subcarrier multiplexed wavelength division multiple access (SCM/WDMA) networks are presented. The solutions studied in this thesis can be classified in two broad categories: one for which the objective is to expand th…
