A simple, fast, low-cost method for measuring the polarization state of light emanating from a biréfringent optical fiber.

摘要

An assembly for measuring the polarization state of radiation, the assembly comprising: a polarizing clement configured to receive the radiation; a photo-sensitive clement downstream from the. polarizing clement configured to measure the intensify of the radiation after traversing the polarizing clement at a plurality of locations; and a unit configured to receive values of the intensity from the photosensitive element, characterized in that said polarizing clement is arranged to polarize the radiation corresponding to said plurality of locations at different angles and the unit is further configured to infer the polarization state based on the received values of the intensity
