Abstract
Polarization scrambling models (PSM) are useful in various areas of optics research. The conventional rotatable waveplate-based PSM is easy to implement physically yet exhibits limitations in model characterization. This paper develops two novel PSMs based on cascaded extrinsic and intrinsic elementary rotations of the state of polarization (SOP). The new models exhibit rich features in terms of deterministic polarization scrambling speed and tunable distribution of SOP variation rate. The development of new models also provides us with novel theoretical tools for characterizing various PSMs. We study the new models with detailed mathematical derivations and analyses, verified by extensive numerical simulations. The developed models could be useful for theoretical study and building simulation platforms for polarization testing.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Lightwave Technology is comprised of original contributions, both regular papers and letters, covering work in all aspects of optical guided-wave science, technology, and engineering. Manuscripts are solicited which report original theoretical and/or experimental results which advance the technological base of guided-wave technology. Tutorial and review papers are by invitation only. Topics of interest include the following: fiber and cable technologies, active and passive guided-wave componentry (light sources, detectors, repeaters, switches, fiber sensors, etc.); integrated optics and optoelectronics; and systems, subsystems, new applications and unique field trials. System oriented manuscripts should be concerned with systems which perform a function not previously available, out-perform previously established systems, or represent enhancements in the state of the art in general.
