Abstract:We establish a mathematical model of a crystal spatial light mixer based on the principle of crystal birefringence and splitting. The spatial light mixer consists of two crystals, three quarter-wave plates, four half-wave plates, two planar mirrors and two polarization beam splitting prisms (PBS). After the signal light and the local oscillator light pass through the spatial optical mixer, four channels of coherent light with 90° relative phase differences are output. According to the established mathematical … Show more
