DEPOLARIZER FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION

A depolarizer operates by splitting light traveling along an optical fiber into two sub-beams. One of the sub-beams is inserted into a recirculation loop, where it has its polarization state altered. The light in the recirculation loop is then reinserted into the fiber at a position prior to that at...

Zusammenfassung:A depolarizer operates by splitting light traveling along an optical fiber into two sub-beams. One of the sub-beams is inserted into a recirculation loop, where it has its polarization state altered. The light in the recirculation loop is then reinserted into the fiber at a position prior to that at which the splitting occurred.
