Tunable beam displacer.

Demonstration of a highly-sensitive tunable beam displacer with no use of beam deflection based on the concept of weak value amplification.

We report the implementation of a highly sensitive tunable beam displacer based on the concept of weak value amplification, that allows to displace the centroid of a Gaussian beam a distance much smaller than its beam width without the need to deflect the direction of propagation of the input beam with movable optical elements. The beam's centroid position can be displaced by controlling the li...

Perro’s Achromatic Polarization-Preserving Beam Displacer

Tilting tolerance analysis of a broadband polarization-preserving beam displacer.

We numerically investigated the performance of an achromatic polarization-preserving beam displacer that was proposed by Galvez [Opt. Lett.26,971(2001)]. First, the four-prism configuration of the Galvez scheme is verified by simulation. We examined the extension of wavelength beyond visible light by considering the corresponding power loss. The degree of polarization is also considered. The to...

Achromatic polarization-preserving beam displacer.

We present a novel device based on four orthogonal reflections that displaces an optical beam while preserving the state of polarization. The principle of operation is the overall compensation of the phase shifts that s and p polarization components of the light acquire at each reflection. This compensation, which relies on the use of four identical reflectors, is independent of the actual valu...

All-Optical Reconfigurable-Tunable 1×N Power Splitter Using Soliton Breakup

In this paper, we numerically simulated a glass-based all-optical 1×N power splitter with eleven different configurations using soliton breakup in a nonlinear medium. It is shown that in addition to reconfigurability of the proposed splitter, its power splitting ratio is tunable up to some extent values too. Nonlinear semivectorial iterative finite difference beam propagation method (IFD-...
