Abstract :
We demonstrate automatic endless optical polarization tracking over 3.8 Grad at up to 38-krad/s control speed with mean/maximum polarization errors of 0.068/0.185 rad. Without polarization fluctuations, mean/maximum polarization errors are 0.05/0.1 rad. Small-signal control time constant is about 2 mus. Function is maintained over the wavelength range 1505-1570 nm.
