Abstract :
A wavelength-tunable acousto-optical Ti:LiNbO3 TE-TM converter, followed by a 45° linear polariser, can be used to measure the four Stokes parameters. A demonstration unit for 1.5 μm wavelength operation with 9 MHz electrical measurement bandwidth, roughly 0.04 rad accuracy and 250 GHz optical bandwidth has been developed
