“…Polarization aberration is the change of the polarization state of light wave when it passes through the optical system. It is formed at the optical interface and the propagation of light in the medium, and exists in all optical systems [5][6][7][8] . When linearly polarized light passes through Smith Prism, There will be different amplitude and phase in different vibration direction, and we will obtain the different polarization states 9 ; For common optical lens, when the angle between the polarization direction of incident light and the incident surface is about °4 5  , the value of the polarization aberration is the largest and positively correlated with the incident angle, and it will accumulate when passing through multiple lenses 10,11 ; In addition, the optical coating and thin film will affect the amplitude and polarization of the light wave while improving the performance of the optical system, so polarization aberrations can be reduced by optimizing the interface transmittance or reflectivity coating 12 .…”

Focusing on the problem that the polarization aberration caused by the non-normal incidence of the polarized beam affects the accuracy of the azimuth transmission during the fiber coupling process of the non-line-of-sight azimuth transmission system, this paper starts from the principle of non-line-of-sightazimuth transmission. The polarization aberration relation of the lens-fiber combined interface is established based on the Fresnel formulafor the attenuation difference between the horizontal and vertical electric vectors. Further, the azimuth solution model affected by polarization aberration is established. Numerical simulation results show that in non-normal incidence, no polarization aberration will occur when the polarization angle between the incident ray and incident surface is 0° or 90°. Otherwise, the polarization aberration changes toward the incident surface, and the azimuth transmission error will increase with the increase of the polarization aberration. Last, the optimization measures are proposed. This is of great significancefor further improvement of the azimuth transmission system based on polarization-maintaining fibers, the selection of the instrument,and the improvement of the system measurement accuracy.
