چکیده
We report the first use of a double-layer liquid crystal modulator array for spectral phase pulse shaping that operates independent of polarization. Such insensitivity to polarization is crucial for fiber applications, e.g., dispersion compensation.

Programmable polarization-independent spectral phase compensation and pulse shaping by use of a single-layer liquid-crystal modulator.
What we believe to be the first use of a single-layer liquid-crystal modulator array for spectral phase pulse shaping that operates independently of input polarization is reported. Polarization insensitivity is essential to optical-fiber-based applications such as dispersion compensation.
متن کاملWideband all-order polarization mode dispersion compensation via pulse shaping.
We demonstrate the application of ultrafast pulse-shaping techniques for experimental wideband all-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation, for the first time to our knowledge. PMD is treated as arbitrary variations of state of polarization and phase versus wavelength, in an all-order sense. Consequently, two pulse shapers are implemented in a serial manner to compensate for the p...
متن کاملSensing and compensation of femtosecond waveform distortion induced by all-order polarization mode dispersion at selected polarization states.
We demonstrate full characterization of femtosecond pulse distortion induced by all-order polarization mode dispersion (PMD) at selected polarization states via second-harmonic generation (SHG) frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG) measurements at an average power of under 28 nW. By applying the inverse of the measured spectral phase via a programmable pulse shaper, we compress the distorted...

متن کاملUltrafast optical pulse shaping: A tutorial review
This paper presents a tutorial on the field of femtosecond pulse shaping, a technology that enables generation of nearly arbitrary, user defined, ultrafast optical waveforms, with control of phase, amplitude, and polarization. The emphasis is on Fourier transform pulse shaping, the most widely applied technique. Selected pulse shaping applications are described, with specific discussion of cohe...
