Analytic theory of fiber-optic Raman polarizers.

چکیده
The Raman polarizer is a Raman amplifier which not only amplifies but also repolarizes light. We propose a relatively simple and analytically tractable model - the ideal Raman polarizer, for describing the operation of this device. The model efficiently determines key device parameters such as the degree of polarization, the alignment parameter, the gain and the RIN variance.

Theory of fiber optic Raman polarizers.
We propose and apply a theoretical description of a Raman amplifier based on the vector model of randomly birefringent fibers to the characterization of Raman polarizers. The Raman polarizer is a special type of Raman amplifier with the property of producing a highly repolarized beam when fed by relatively weak and unpolarized light.

Received August 27, 2010; accepted October 18, 2010; posted October 21, 2010 (Doc. ID 134145); published December 14, 2010 In this work, polarization attraction is meant to be the conservative nonlinear effect that transforms any arbitrary input state of polarization (SOP) of an intense optical signal beam fed to a nonlinear medium into approximately one and the same SOP at the output, provided...

l'rircuiar polarizers have been used v for difrerent ophthalmic applications, such as ophthalmoscopy,' lens photography,' and corneai endothelial microscopy.3 To the best of our knowledge, circular polarizers have not been applied to fundus photography. A linear polarizer polarizes light in a plane. In fundus photography, it has been used to show the birefringence of the nerve fiber layero and ...
