چکیده
We demonstrate a simple waveplate analyzer to characterize linear retarders using magneto-optic (MO) polarization rotators. The all-solid state device can provide highly accurate measurements for both the retardation of the waveplate and the orientation of optical axes simultaneously.

Self-calibrating binary polarization analyzer.
We report a self-calibrating polarization analyzer fabricated with binary magneto-optic polarization rotators. The device automatically overcomes wavelength and temperature dependent inaccuracies and has impressive state of polarization and degree of polarization accuracies of 0.3 degrees and +/-0.5%, respectively, from 1460 to 1580 nm.
متن کاملHigh accuracy polarization measurements using binary polarization rotators.
We report a novel system for the accurate measurement of all polarization related parameters, including polarization mode dispersion and polarization dependent loss, using binary magneto-optic polarization rotators. By taking advantage of the binary nature of the rotators, we achieved unprecedented DGD, SOPMD, and PDL accuracies of 2.6 fs, 1.39ps(2), and 0.06 dB respectively; repeatabilities of...
متن کاملA MEMS Faraday Rotator for MEMS Polarization Controllers, MEMS Magneto- Optic Spatial Light Modulators and Other Enabled Technologies
Faraday rotators that employ the magneto-optic effect are ubiquitous across several optical device categories: including optical isolators, polarization controllers, and spatial light modulators. However, Faraday rotators are notoriously difficult to fabricate at small scales due to the high magnetic field strengths required to generate significant light polarization vector rotations. In this p...

Having precise hysterics loop of thin ferroelectric and ferromagnetic layers for optical switching and optical storages are important. A hysterieses loop can be achieved from a phenomenon call the magneto-optic effect. The magneto-optic effect is the rotation of a linear polarized electromagnetic wave propagated through a ferromagnetic medium. When light is transmitted through a layer of magnet...
متن کاملHighly repeatable all-solid-state polarization-state generator.
We report an all solid-state polarization-state generator that uses magneto-optic polarization rotators. The device can generate either five or six distinctive polarization states uniformly across a Poincaré sphere with repeatability better than 0.1 degrees. It is ideal for polarization analysis, swept-wavelength measurement, and monitoring of polarization-related parameters and signal-to-noise...
