We describe the implementation of a wavelength-tunable polarization-dependent-loss element on polarization-maintaining fiber using two independently-controlled acoustic gratings. Continuous attenuation in both fast and slow axes at the same wavelength is demonstrated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
