Abstract
We give an overview of the physical principles of coherence modulation
of light that are discussed in terms of correlation of stochastic light
fields such as those emitted by broadband sources. Multiplexing properties
of this method are also considered in the frame of two system topologies,
the series and parallel configurations, with emphasis put on source of noise
inherent to coherence modulation. Applications are also reviewed in optical
telecommunications, optical sensing, integrated optics and optical computing.
