A New Kind of Polarization Controller Design

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper give a new design of three level phase delay control polarization controller, which is the key components for state of polarization (SOP) control in the area of coherent optical communication and polarization mode dispersion compensation. Piezoelectric ceramic are used in three of the phase delay unit to realize phase delay control. The polarization controller can achieve infinite control, convert arbitrary input state of polarization to arbitrary expected output state of polarization under low control voltage.
