2. Commercial polarization control devices for fiber optics
After a brief reminder of how polarization states are represented on the Poincaré sphere, this section describes the main existing and commercially available devices for controlling or stabilizing the polarization state of a laser wave in fiber optics.
2.1 Representation of polarization on the Poincaré sphere
In this article, wave polarizations will often be represented on the Poincaré sphere (figure 1 ). In this representation system, which is widely used in practice, each point on the sphere corresponds to a particular polarization state. The...
