Polarization Extinction Ratio Impact on Spectral Stability of Bragg Grating Stabilized Laser Diodes

We clarify the definition of the polarization extinction ratio-also called polarization cross talk--of fiber-based devices. Its strong wavelength dependence, even for simple devices such as a single-fiber patchcord, is highlighted. Thus white sources may not be used for most measurements. We also explain the weakness of measurements with a rotating polarizer and a monochromatic source. Only a polarimeter may be used if accuracy is required. We report measurements of connections (including two connectors and one mating sleeve) and show the importance of the mating sleeve in the result. Finally, we define the validity domain of the standardized method, which uses both a white source and a rotating polarizer.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
