Dynamic polarization compensating system for optical communications receiver

Abstract

Electro-optic cell is located in optical path of input light beam. Cell includes crystal for controlling phase between two polarization states. Cell axes are rotated 45 deg to receiver axes defined by vertical and horizontal polarization states. Voltage across cell compensates for bias by introducing different phase retardation along crystal axes.
