Spectrum-slicing techniques employing incoherent light are an economic, practical and therefore attractive solution for future all-optical networks, especially for wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) transmission systems in local area networks (LAN). However, spectrum-sliced methods exhibit a lar...
