We developed a new polarization controller based on the Faraday effect. The transmittance fluctuation was suppressed to less than 0.03 dB by controlling the direction of a magnetic field with a magnitude exceeding the saturation field of Faraday elements. Because it has no mechanical parts, the new polarization controller can perform polarization control with high reproducibility and high-speed polarization control of better than 103 turns/s on a Poincare sphere. The new polarization controller has a rotatory polarization angle setting accuracy of ±5° and a reproducibility of ±0.3° on the Poincare sphere. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
