Summary

The performance increase of optical transmission systems creates new problems like optical feedback and modal noise. It is very important to overcome these problems especially in systems composed by a lot of single optical elements. In this paper we describe a new method to determine the degree of mode selectivity produced by these devices. A simple model for modal noise description together with experimental results are presented.
