Abstract
A method for the simultaneous processing of speckle fields generated by several single-fiber multimode interferometers is developed. The method uses a multichannel correlation filter based on a single photorefractive crystal. Mutual influence of the neighboring channels is analyzed, and it is shown that the simultaneous processing of several channels can be performed with the help of a single photorefractive crystal, provided that the interchannel spacing is not smaller than half of the size of the optical field pattern formed in the crystal plane.
