Polarization Independent Nonlinear Optical Loop Mirror

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Nonlinear optical loop mirrors (NOLMs), have been investigated in relation to such applications as optical switching, demultiplexing, phase conjugation, and fiber laser mode-locking. The experimental operation of a NOLM is complicated by the presence of both birefringence and optical activity induced by twist. As a consequence their operation depends in a quite complicated way on input polarization.
