Abstract
General properties of N × M self-images in a strongly confined rectangular waveguide are given. Analytical formulas are derived for the positions, amplitudes, and phases of the N × M images at the end of multimode interference section. The formulas are verified with numerical simulation of a three-dimensional semivectorial beam propagation method.
