Abstract:A Ti:LiNbO3 acoustooptical TE-TM converter followed by a 45 linear polarizer allows to measure the Stokes parameters. A wavelength-selective demonstration unit with 9 MHz electrical measurement bandwidth, roughly 0.04 rad accuracy and 250 GHz optical bandwidth has been developed.An acoustooptical TE-TM converter whose transducer is placed at 1/3 ofthe interaction length forms a polarization-independent optical depolarizer, suitable to suppress polarization hole burning in long haul EDFA links. We present a dou… Show more
