摘要:
Systems, apparatus and methods for characterizing linear retarders using a waveplate analyzer constructed by polarization rotators. In one implementation of such an analyzer, both the retardation of the waveplate sample and the orientation of optical axis of the waveplate sample can be simultaneously measured.

Differential group delay (DGD) devices and techniques based on folded optical paths. An in-line polarization monitor can be provided as a feedback for worst-case alignment without using an in-line polarizer. Polarization maintaining retro reflectors can minimize the introduced higher-order polarization effects caused by reflections between folding mirrors or prisms in conventional schemes.

Devices, systems and techniques for optical communication are provided based on polarization division multiplexing (PDM) to use an optical monitor channel at a distinct optical monitor wavelength to monitor optical polarization fluctuation and polarization mode dispersion during the transmission from the transmitter to the receiver to facilitate the effective demultiplexing of the two orthogonal signal channels at the receiver through automatic feedback control on a dynamic polarization controller and a polarization beam splitter.

摘要:
Autocorrelation technique for measurement of width of optical short pulses based on polarization effects. The optical pulse is split into two orthogonal polarization states and these two replicas have a relative delay which depolarizes the pulse. By tuning the relative delay of the two replicas and measuring the degree-of-polarization (DOP) of the pulse or the induced polarimetric four-wave mixing (FWM) through nonlinear media, the pulse's temporal width can be accurately derived. The technique can be all-fiber-based, wavelength independent, cost effective, applicable to low optical power, and does not require significant optical alignment.
