Polarization-independent Kerr coefficient measurement in optical fibers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A novel cross-phase modulation scheme that permits measurement of the optical Kerr coefficient in non-polarization- preserving fiber is presented. The scheme is based on a Michelson-type interferometer in which one mirror is replaced by an orthoconjugated mirror. The use of this device leads to an effective insensitivity with respect to the state of polarization of the probe and pump beams.
