Flexible Controller Maintains Fiber Optic Polarization

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Sheldon Zhang, General Photonics Corp.

For nearly 200 years scientists and engineers have worked to exploit the inherent polarization of a light wave for mankind's benefit. From cutting edge research in laser cooling and atomic-transition gravitational wave detection to much that we take for granted today ­ such as displays compact disks, cameras -- regulating the polarization of light has been a crucial part of the game. Most polarization control techniques have targeted manipulation of light beams in free space. It was only a few decades ago when scientists figured out how to send light signals through optical fibers. When...Read full article
